The Post Graduate Diploma Program at SMI

The Post Graduate Diploma Program (PGDP), taught over two semesters, is crafted for individuals joining Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design & Technology, with an undergraduate degree, sensing a need to develop their art and design practice or enter the world of myriad emergent creative professional opportunities. It is a unique opportunity offered to undergraduate students of any discipline: a year to find the time and space to engage with ideas and explore the possibilities of a more enriched career and profession in the creative and cultural industries, while finding their passion. The PGDP allows an individual to choose between two pathways, each of which has been designed to align with different levels of learning

The foundational and preparatory Bridge pathway makes it possible for a student to enter the world of art and design, with three years of undergraduate education even from a totally unrelated discipline. The program engenders the essential thinking and making skills needed to join the various Postgraduate Professional courses offered at a Masters level. The Finish pathway provides an opportunity to learn and advance one’s practice in a chosen field being a space to refine one’s knowledge and position, after an undergraduate program or a period of work experience in creative fields. This program helps to build on previously acquired skills with strategic pedagogic support and inputs in art, design and research processes.
