About Global Connect

At MIT Institute of Design, MIT-ADT University, we believe that design education must transcend geographical boundaries to stay relevant, responsive, and future-ready. Aligned with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020), which emphasizes the internationalisation of higher education, we are committed to nurturing globally competent designers through meaningful academic and cultural exchange.

Our Office for International Affairs (OIA) actively fosters partnerships with renowned design institutions and universities across the world. These collaborations are rooted in academic integrity, mutual learning, and a shared commitment to expanding global design discourse. we provide our students and faculty with rich opportunities to engage with diverse cultures, emerging design practices, and global industry dynamics.

These global engagements empower our students not only to gain academic insight but also to build adaptability, cross-cultural sensitivity, and leadership skills preparing them to thrive in a globally interconnected design ecosystem. As we continue to expand our international network, our goal remains clear: to shape the next generation of designers who think globally, act ethically, and design for impact.
