New Delhi, April 2025.

In a bold move to stay ahead of emerging trends in technology, business, and the creative industries, the World University of Design (WUD) has announced a suite of new undergraduate and postgraduate programs for the 2025-26 academic year. These additions are set to redefine career pathways by integrating design thinking with advanced technological and artistic disciplines. Among the headline offerings is the B.Tech in Computer Science & Design, a future-ready program that responds to the growing impact of AI on traditional computer science degrees. This course equips students with coding expertise while embedding principles of human-centered design, ensuring they graduate with the skills to develop intelligent, user-focused solutions.

WUD is also reshaping the performing arts landscape with its newly introduced Bachelor and Master of Performing Arts in Theatre. Unlike conventional theatre courses, these programs go beyond performance skills to train well-rounded theatre professionals, incorporating direction, stagecraft, and contemporary storytelling techniques. Recognizing the evolving role of gaming beyond entertainment, WUD is launching an M.Des in Game Design & Development, tailored for students from non-gaming backgrounds looking to enter this rapidly growing industry. The course explores gaming applications in education, healthcare, and business, broadening career opportunities in this dynamic field.

“As a university dedicated to shaping the future of creative education, we are continuously evolving to meet the demands of emerging industries. Our new programs are carefully crafted to bridge the gap between technology, business, and the arts, ensuring our graduates are not only industry-ready but also capable of leading innovation in their respective fields” said Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Vice-Chancellor, World University of Design. “” he added.

The first phase of the WUD Aptitude Test (WUDAT) 2025 was conducted online on January 11-12, and Phase II is scheduled for April 12.
