From Classrooms to Campuses Across the World
There are certain moments in education that make the entire journey feel worthwhile. For all of us at Desizn Circle International, this is one of those moments.
This year, around 85 of our students have begun a new chapter at leading colleges and universities across the world. From the Royal Collage of Arts , University of the Arts London, RISD , The New School Parsons ,University of Leeds, Glasgow School of Art, Istituto Marangoni, NABA and Domus Academy, FIT, Tudelft, SCAD, LASALLE, Leeds University, RMIT and OCAD, our students are now studying across different countries, cultures and creative environments.
What makes this milestone particularly special is knowing how different each journey has been.
Some students first walked into our classrooms while they were in Class 11, still discovering what design meant to them. Some joined us in Class 12, working intensely towards portfolios, applications and entrance processes. Others came to us after completing their undergraduate studies, ready to take the next step towards a specialised master’s programme abroad.
Every student began at a different point, but the process was always about much more than simply getting into a university.
It was about discovering their interests, developing ideas, learning how to communicate visually, building portfolios that genuinely represented who they were, preparing applications, receiving offers, making difficult choices and eventually preparing themselves for an entirely new life.
And now, those journeys have moved beyond our classrooms.
Over the past few weeks, our students have been sending us photographs and little glimpses of their new lives — walking through their campuses, attending studios and workshops, exploring cities, working on assignments, meeting classmates and slowly creating a routine thousands of kilometres away from home.
Around 20–25 students have already shared photographs of their everyday experiences, and seeing these images has been incredibly special for our entire team.
Behind every photograph is a much larger transition.
They are learning how to live independently, manage everyday responsibilities, understand a completely different academic structure and adapt to cultures and teaching methods that can be very different from what they experienced in India. The curriculum is new, expectations are different, classrooms are more diverse and creative conversations are happening with people from across the world.
Watching them slowly find their place in these environments is perhaps the most rewarding part of the process.
This achievement also belongs to an entire team of people who have supported these students at different stages of their journey.
We would like to sincerely thank Ankita Ma’am, Durgesh Sir, Shivam Sir, Satyajit Sir, Sibani Ma’am, Nikita Ma’am, Shraddha Ma’am, Rahul Sir, Chandan Sir and Sumit Sir for the countless hours of mentoring, discussions, reviews, corrections, encouragement and guidance that went into every student’s journey.
We would also like to extend our gratitude to our application partners, Divya Ma’am and Ratana Ma’am, along with all our other partners who supported students throughout the application, documentation and admission process.
A special thank you also goes to our accommodation and international support partners, who helped make the transition to a new country easier for many of our students and their families.
Team Desizn Circle International
For us at Desizn Circle International, these photographs are much more than campus updates. They are reminders of years of conversations, sketches, portfolio reviews, late submissions, applications, interviews, excitement, uncertainty and finally — new beginnings.
We are incredibly proud of every student who has taken this step.
Their journey with us may have started inside a classroom in India, but today, their learning continues across campuses around the world.
And seeing them begin to build their own lives there is something we will always be proud of.
