Course Structure
In keeping with the new National Education Policy, this program is developed with a set of ‘holistic and multidisciplinary objectives’, developing capacities ‘across the arts, humanities, languages, sciences, social sciences and professional fields.’ This has guided the creation of a course structure that is largely student-driven (using studios and choice-based courses in the program and inter-program). The choice making options shall empower a student to evolve their own vertical arcs of learning, while making horizontal connections across courses at the same level.
The 4-semester, 2-year program prepares students for a variety of leadership roles, in architecture, planning, design, education, fine arts, academics, journalism, doctoral research and practice.
Each semester, the students are expected to complete at least 3 core courses which includes a research course, 1 studio project and at least 2-4 elective courses per semester. In the latter, they have an array of choices between electives offered by the program. To avail the best of the resources that J.J. has to offer, the students must explore a minimum of 1 course offered by other programs at the institute each semester. In the final semester, the students will be completing a Capstone Project and a Dissertation of their interest with the help of a guide.
Types of Courses
There are different types of courses in the program. Some are mandated while others are chosen by the students.
Core Courses:
These courses are mandated by the program. All students who have enrolled for the program must take them. Within them, there are two further tracks designed for the benefit of the students.
- Research Core: These are subjects that are necessary to build the research skills of the students, from academic citations, to consumer analysis. Though the students study their chosen program, these are critical skills applicable in any creative process.
- Studio: The Studio project is a purely practical-based course where students have to demonstrate their learning with proposed outcomes.
Elective Courses:
These are courses that students can choose to take from a list offered by the program each semester. There are two kinds of electives offered:
- Choice-based (within program): These are courses that are offered by the School of the program that that could be of interest to the student.
- Choice-based (outside program): These are courses that are offered by other programs run by JJ School of Arts, Architecture and Design.
