WUD PhD admission 2024 process

Admission into WUD's PhD programme involves a two-step process: a written examination and an interview. The entrance exam is a three-hour written paper testing research methodology basics, academic rigour, and creative thinking.

Applicants must submit a detailed statement of their proposed research project and/or a portfolio of creative works. This helps the admissions committee evaluate the research idea's originality and feasibility.

Sanjay Gupta, vice chancellor of WUD, stated, "At the World University of Design, we recognize the potential midcareer faculty members and design professionals bring to doctoral research. Our flexible programme structure, distinguished faculty, and state-of-the-art resources are designed to support and inspire you in this transformative journey."
