World University of Design hosts MIW Design Week 2025

The World University of Design (WUD) recently held the fifth edition of its annual ‘Made in WUD’ (MIW) Design Week at its Sonipat campus. The event featured work by over 230 graduating students across fields such as design, architecture, fashion, visual arts, communication, interior design, animation, and performing arts. MIW has grown into a significant platform for academic-industry collaboration. Throughout the year, students engaged with global brands and creative agencies, working on live briefs and real-world design challenges. The outcomes spanned a wide range of disciplines, including UI/UX, mobility solutions, product design, service systems, branding, and fashion. The campus was transformed into a public exhibition space, with Open House displays offering insight into student portfolios. A highlight of the week was the fashion show by final-year students from the School of Fashion, which received appreciation for its thoughtful execution and relevance. The showcase attracted industry professionals, recruiters, and design leaders. Chief Guest Mr Pranav Mahajan (Director, MASPAR/Mahajan Overseas) remarked that MIW reflected the university’s strong academic and industry alignment, preparing students to contribute meaningfully to the design sector. Vice Chancellor Dr Sanjay Gupta emphasised the university’s aim to nurture not only technical skill but also contextual awareness and responsible practice in design. “MIW began as a platform to celebrate the spirit of our students — their grit, originality, and ambition. Today, it is recognized as one of the finest graduate showcases in the country. What excites me most is that our students are stepping into the world not only with refined skills but with a deep understanding of context, empathy, sustainability, and innovation — essential ingredients for tomorrow’s creative leaders," Sanjay Gupta. The event concluded with an awards ceremony recognising outstanding student work. MIW 2025 underlined WUD’s commitment to developing future-ready, socially conscious design professionals.
