What is Mobility Design?
Mobility Design is the field of designing how people and goods move – from cars, bikes and aircraft to shared shuttles, metro systems and future EV ecosystems. It combines vehicle design, user experience, service design and city context so that every journey feels intuitive, efficient and emotionally engaging.

Curriculum
12-months journeyMonths 1-3
Design & Culture FoundationThe journey begins with culture, observation, and sketching. Students explore Indian, Scandinavian, Italian, and Japanese approaches to art and design. With pencil and paper as their first tools, they begin building the habit of turning ideas into visible form
Months 3-4
Digital GarageStudents enter the digital realm of design. They learn tools such as Photoshop, Blender, Autodesk Alias, AR/VR, and foam modelling to understand form, space, and visual storytelling. Masterclasses from experienced artists help them connect physical making with digital expression.
Months 5
Automotive BlueprintThis phase introduces the core principles of automotive design: proportions, packaging, perspective, drafting, engineering logic, storytelling, and branding. Mentors from leading global brands bring real industry insight into the studio
Months 6-7
Concept Flight(Industry Collaboration)Step into your first major industry-style brief. The first live project takes students into the world of aviation and futuristic mobility. From fighter jets to inter-stellar space vehicles, they learn how to design for experience, performance, imagination, and function.
Months 8-9
Wheels Of The Future(Industry Collaboration)In the second major brief, students work on a future-focused four-wheeler project that rethinks the way we live with vehicles. This is where mobility becomes larger than transportation — it becomes about lifestyle, emotion, technology, and human experience. Learn AI tools such as Vizcom, Krea.ai and build a systemic experience.
Months 8-9
Ride on 2-Wheels(Industry Collaboration)The final project focuses on two-wheel mobility, where students choose a segment such as off-road, retro, sport, or adventure and develop a complete concept around it. Working in teams, they take the project all the way to a 1:1 scale model, learning collaboration, detailing, and presentation along the way.
What You Graduate With
A portfolio built for the world’s top design schools. By the end of the 12 months, students complete three major industry-style projects, learn from 20 industry professionals, experience 5 industry visits, and build a professional portfolio designed to support applications to top global design schools such as ArtCenter, Pforzheim, IED, Umeå, and more.
