Dubai, UAE / Bangalore, India: In a strategic step toward
expanding access to international creative education, the London School of
Design and Marketing (LSDM) has entered into a formal partnership with
Cindrebay School of Design, a prominent institution with a growing footprint
across India and the UAE. The collaboration will begin with a scholarship
initiative for the April 2025 intake, aimed at empowering emerging talent in
the fields of design, marketing and user experience.
The centrepiece of this collaboration includes two
globally recognised postgraduate programs — the MA in Design, certified
by the University for the Creative Arts (UCA), UK, and the newly
introduced MA in UX Design, certified by the Norwich University of
the Arts, another leading UK institution with a long-standing reputation in
art and design education.
Both programs are delivered entirely online, offering
flexible and immersive learning experiences tailored for working professionals
and aspiring creatives. While the MA in Design blends academic theory with
industry-driven projects across branding, communication, and innovation, the MA
in UX Design focuses on Human-Centred Design, User Interface development, and
real-world problem solving — preparing students for roles in product design,
interaction design, usability testing, and digital strategy.
As part of this initiative, Cindrebay will sponsor
exclusive scholarships for eligible students, with up to 25% fee
reduction available to Cindrebay alumni. The scholarships are open to
qualified candidates who meet the academic or professional criteria set by
LSDM.
The partnership was formally sealed through a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) signed in Dubai by Basant Nair, Director,
Cindrebay School of Design, and Professor Carlos Sá, Director, LSDM. The
MoU signifies a mutual commitment to advancing international design education
through collaborative efforts and scholarship support.
Known for its career-oriented programs, LSDM combines
design thinking with business acumen, equipping students to thrive in today’s
dynamic creative industries. With this partnership, both institutions aim to
remove financial and geographic barriers to world-class education, and foster a
generation of globally aware, future-ready professionals.
