School of Design
The profession of a designer is one of the most sought-after in modern times. The scope of the course is rather diverse and the designer's work is multidimensional. The designer can work internationally with the knowledge and skills gained at WCU. Generally, the salary in this field is quite lucrative. Designers are able to plan projects with different methods of graphic modelling, able to solve issues pragmatically, and have the creative thinking ability to express their opinions. All these skills are polished at WCU.
The School of Design has been operating since 1996. The mission of the school is to train specialists with global thinking and key professional competencies. We provide students with the knowledge and skills that meet the needs of modern society and support future professionals to solve artistic issues. In order to implement the programme, the school has a creative workshop centre with new equipment and materials: machine tools for metal and wood processing, 3D printers, etc. Computer classes have been upgraded with modern software.
The school offers students new conceptualisations of training with an integrative system for mastering all aspects of artistic creativity using modern information technology along with the traditional teaching methods of all disciplines. Through this approach, architectural-design students are orientated to use all graphic design capabilities and use the latest design methods. The school provides students with an opportunity to participate in international student exchange programmes such as Erasmus Mundus, Mevlana, etc.
