Testimonials
It was an absolute pleasure to be part of the Department of Design, MSAP. During my degree, I was fortunate to receive guidance from my teachers who were not only proficient in their field but were a constant support throughout my course. Furthermore, I received a life-changing opportunity to take part in an international exchange program with RMIT Australia. My experience at MU has been a rollercoaster ride with many ups and downs. It has been a journey of self-discovery, acquiring new skills, networking and making friends for life. To this day, I continue to take forward those skills and apply them as I pursue my Master's degree at one of the top 10 fashion business schools in the world.

"Being a part of Manipal Academy of Higher Education is a privilege in itself for its student-friendly environment. Taking up B.Des- Fashion Design degree at MSAP, Manipal is undoubtedly one of the best decisions I've ever made. Whether it's the suitable facilities provided by the college or adequate infrastructure, both of these have greatly contributed to having a wonderful learning experience for four years. Furthermore, the college has also provided me with a glut of opportunities in terms of co-curricular activities. Utilising these opportunities to its maximum potential has personally led to an overall development. Besides, full-time support and guidance from faculty has been the constant source of motivation throughout this journey."

"Manipal Academy of Higher Education has been a generous educational destination for a professional course like B.Des. ID. With the right amount of exposure and guidance, I have become more confident and independent with my creative and logical thinking and expression. Design processes involving case studies and market survey integrated into the curriculum helped get a deeper sense of my subjects. The interactive and open relation with the faculty members provided me with a sense of comfort through these 4 years. All the required facilities permeate through the interactive infrastructure creating a lovely environment for knowledge gain. The institute has inspired me to explore more and always stay inquisitive. I only have gratitude to express to the institute for empowering me with the knowledge I needed."

Thinking about my studies in MAHE (MSAP-DOD), several keywords come to my mind: mind-opening, personal and professional development, education, knowledge, accomplishment, career, influential and with this campus, friends and a lot of memories. MAHE is a platform for not only professional escalation but also personal and integrated growth.
