The department engages with the learners through courses that foster creativity for design within a unique ecosystem of subject expertise, technical support, and research facilities from various academic units of IIT Delhi.

The Department offers B.Des., M.Des. & Ph.D. programs for aspiring students. The long-standing M.Des program has focussed on providing expertise in design through interdisciplinary studies in various domains of design and responded to actors such as culture, innovation, and technology. The Department offers an eight-semester B.Des. program in which the students can navigate their way into the specialization of their choice after building a holistic foundation in the foundation years. The department's diverse faculty pool addresses the learners' interests, viewpoints and expectations. The host city, the capital of India, New Delhi, offers a unique locational advantage to the learners on campus to collaborate with critical actors in society, institutions and industry.
