Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose an event design or a wedding design course?
Choose event design if you want to work across corporate events, launches, parties and weddings. Choose wedding design if you want to specialise in mandaps, stages, décor and styling for Indian weddings. For a full two-year career in designing and building sets for weddings, events, film and TV, choose the MA in Set Design.
Can I study event or wedding design online?
Yes. Our online event design and online wedding design courses follow the same practical curriculum as the campus courses, with live mentorship from anywhere in India.
How long is an event design course?
Our short-term event and wedding design courses take four months, on campus or online. The MA in Set Design takes two years.
What is the difference between event design and set design?
Event design creates the look and experience of an event — theme, décor, stage and guest journey. Set design focuses on designing and building physical sets for weddings, events, film and television, including drawings, models and construction.
Do I need drawing skills to join?
