Architecture

Chandigarh University do arrange special workshops for students of industrial design. The department conduct activities like bamboo art workshop where students learn about use of material in design. There are also sessions like automotive styling workshop led by industry experts, where students explore vehicle design. University also invite speakers from design industry to share knowledge about portfolio and future design trends. Students also go for industrial visits like the one at Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering & Technology, Baddi. These workshops and visits help students connect with real world design work. It give them better exposure outside classroom. So, yes, special workshops are organised from time to time for industrial design students.

Industrial Design students at Chandigarh University get to use different labs that help them turn concepts into real work. There is a CAD Lab where students learn software like CATIA, Pro-E and SolidWorks. A Model Making Workshop is also there which allows them to build 3D models and test shapes. For knowing about strength and behavior of materials, a Material Testing Lab is provided. Along with this students also practice in a Metal Craft and Carpentry Workshop where they can shape wood and metal for design projects. These labs are made to give a mix of digital learning and manual skills. It gives students a chance to work on real prototypes and understand materials in a better way. In this way theory is connected with practical skills.

At Chandigarh University, industrial design students get many useful facilities. There are design studios where students can sit and create their ideas. The workshops have modern tools that help in making models and prototypes. There is also a Cintiq lab for digital design work. The classrooms are clean, wide, and fitted with projectors. Wi-Fi is available all over campus. The library gives access to books and journals that support design studies. Apart from academic needs, the campus has canteen, gym, and medical service for daily life. All these facilities make learning more practical and creative. The focus is to give space and technology for students so they can shape their ideas into real work. 

Yes, Science students are fully eligible to join Chandigarh University's Industrial Design course, and in fact, many of the program's modules align well with their background. Students with Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics in their 10+2 often excel because the curriculum integrates aspects of technology, materials, and user-centered design. Having a scientific foundation helps them understand ergonomics, structural design, and product mechanics more effectively. The course doesn't require prior experience in art or design—passion and creative thinking are more important. Science students can explore design specializations like UI/UX, wearable technology, and consumer product innovation, where technical knowledge is a major advantage. Admission requires at least 50% marks in 12th and performing well in the CUCET exam. Their analytical mindset often complements the design process, leading to successful careers in diverse industries like consumer goods, electronics, and transportation design.

Yes, Chandigarh University does offer semester exchange options for Architecture students. Through these programs, students can spend a semester at partner universities in USA, South Korea, and Belgium. This gives students to experience a new academic system, explore international architecture trends, and gain exposure to different culture and professional environments. The semetsre exchange is designed to complement the students's learning at CU, allowing them to earn credits abroad that count toward their degree. It also provides networking opportunities with peers and faculty from other countries, enhancing both academic knowledge and career prospects. Overall the semester exchange programme helps Architecture students broaden their learning, gain global exposure and prepare for international career opportunities.
