At JSDA, interiors are not styled—they’re designed with intent. Learn to design spaces that respond to people, culture, and the future.
Our Bachelor of Interior Design programme offers an immersive learning environment that integrates creative practice with critical thinking and technical understanding. Students engage in hands-on material explorations, spatial experimentation, and design studios that emphasise aesthetics, comfort, and luxury alongside functional performance.
The curriculum encourages sensitivity towards sustainability, climate, and responsible material choices, preparing students to design interiors that are both refined and future-ready. Through iterative making, research-driven design, and exposure to contemporary practices, graduates develop the ability to create meaningful interior environments that respond thoughtfully to user needs, cultural contexts, and evolving global design standards.
Our Interior design education is grounded in research, making, and reflecting.
The programme encourages learning across architecture, product design, art, technology, sustainability, and social sciences. This interdisciplinary exposure helps students develop holistic thinking, contextual sensitivity, and the ability to design interiors that respond to spatial, cultural, environmental, and human needs simultaneously.
Strong industry engagement is embedded through live projects, internships, studio mentorship, site visits, and interactions with practicing designers, consultants, and manufacturers. Students gain real-world exposure, understand professional workflows, materials, and execution processes, and graduate with industry-ready skills and portfolios.
With a globally benchmarked curriculum, international collaborations, visiting faculty, and exposure to global design practices, the programme prepares students to operate across cultures. Emphasis on contemporary trends, sustainability, and global standards enables graduates to pursue careers and further studies internationally.

Hear from our students who are transforming their creativity into designed imaginations
My four years at JSDA were truly transformative. The programme balanced strong design fundamentals with hands-on projects and flexible learning. Pursuing a Legal Studies minor, a semester exchange at Newcastle University, and active Student Council involvement broadened my global outlook, leadership skills, and professional confidence.
Studying at Jindal School of Design and Architecture has been a very enriching experience for me. The curriculum encouraged me to think critically, experiment creatively, and learn hands-on. With constant support from the faculty and a collaborative environment, I’ve grown more confident in my work and more thoughtful in how I approach design.
At JSDA, I discovered design as an ethical act, where elegance and responsibility coexist. Through modules on political representation, sonic climates, and forensic analysis of structures, I've learned to address societal challenges by merging creativity with sustainable, climate-conscious thinking.
