Business Services and Systems Design
This course is for curious, creative thinkers who want to reimagine how things work — in society, business, technology, and everyday life.
Interdisciplinary: An interdisciplinary curriculum encourages students to explore various fields of their interest.
Diverse Programs: Few design schools offer SMI’s range and variety of courses in fields ranging from visual communication, creative education, computing and product design to animation and film-making. This diversity allows students to find their niche.
Faculty: Faculty is a mix of leading academics and practitioners. That is why students are referred to as ‘aspiring practitioners’ and faculty as practitioners
Industry Connections: Strong ties with industry, provide students with internships, give them access to workshops by leading professionals and foster collaborations between industry leaders and students.
Facilities: Design studios, workshops, and labs support hands-on learning and experimentation

The Bachelor of Design in Creative and Applied Computation (CAC) course is open to anyone eager to learn with no prior coding background. It provides students with the design and algorithmic thinking skills needed to develop digital and physical objects that ethically and meaningfully address human needs.
Creative Education is built on a symbiotic relationship with all other disciplines at SMI. Learning is influenced by how a space is designed; it includes the furniture used in the space, the size of the space, where it is located and who it is for. Similarly, visual communication materials such as charts, textbooks, workbooks, and game boards facilitate learning.
The Human-Centered Design (HCD) program at Srishti Manipal Institute delves into a design approach that prioritizes the user’s needs, wants, and limitations. It involves designing systems, services, spaces, and products to facilitate meaningful interactions and experiences between people, designed interactions, and the natural environment.
The Information Arts and Information Design Practices (IAIDP) nurtures reflective learners who enquire into and interpret the world through storytelling. Using tools that record change, be it memories, cultures, personal narratives or vast amounts of data, students are encouraged to explore newer and imaginative ways to construct and craft knowledge, tell stories and responsibly create communication.
The program's vision is to create sensitive, informed professionals of Spatial Design who create living environments that are equitable and inclusive while emphasizing cultural, artistic, and social awareness.
This course is designed to address communication and marketing needs of variety of industry clusters across new as well as traditional mediums, materials, and platforms. Learning fundamental skills, design processes and conceptual thinking takes precedence over learning to use computer applications and software.
In the Industrial Arts and Design Practices course, making becomes a bridge between thought and emotion. Hands-on creation nurtures a deep understanding of design processes, encouraging intuition and sensitivity, which are essential for meaningful design practice.
