Skill development modules such as Design Drawing, Material and Structure, and Geometry give an understanding of various material properties and enhance the students' working and representational skills. Other courses include Fashion and Industrial Design History, Trend Mapping and Forecasting, and Retail Management and Design. There are 6 design modules that cover the various areas of accessory design including personal accessories and space accessories. Students are encourage to undertake focussed research which involves in-depth understanding of the target user. A design brief is derived from the research, ensuring user-oriented solutions.
