For research and academic collaboration WUD has signed a memorandum of understanding with the University of Reading, UK.  

The World University of Design is the first and only university in India that the University of Reading has entered into an MOU with.

With this addition, the World University of Design has now built a very strong internationalisation program having signed MoUs with over 15 top design universities in the USA, Canada, UK, Europe & Mexico. Internationalization at WUD presents a potent platform for its students to gain global exposure. 

The agreement will apply to a whole range of collaboration areas ranging from Arts, Film & theatre to Communication Design, Architecture & Management. By way of collaborative research, teaching is expected to become multi-faceted and much more enriching. The understanding between the two universities will promote staff and student exchanges and ensure the mobility of qualified students from one institution to the other for the purpose of enrolling in undergraduate and graduate programmes. With research at its core and rigorous academic work by affiliated teachers in their respective domains, the exchange programme will help to open newer avenues for students.
