Avantika University has launched a four-year Bachelor of Design degree course in fashion design, NewsVoir reported. The programme commences with this academic season and will mix practical and theoretical teaching methods.  

“One of the booming fields in the present time is that of fashion designing… the demand for fashion designers is ever-rising,” said Prabodh Mishra, coordinator for fashion design at Avantika University, as reported by NewsVoir. “The field promises a lucrative career to the professionals… This is why we have planned to add a fashion designing course in our offerings in order to provide a perfect learning environment to aspiring fashion designers.”

The course will have a strong focus on experiential learning, said Mishra.

That is why at Avantika University, we lay impetus on experiential learning.”
