AAbout
SCiD
SASA College of Industrial Design SCiD was birthed out of protracted research into the miss-match between the training offered at Institutions of Higher learning and the Employability of graduates after completion. It was awarded the Provisional license by National Council of Higher Education (NCHE) in June, 2022 to offer a Two-year diploma in Industrial Design starting September, 2023. SCiD was also accredited as an Assessment Centre no. UVQF/2746 and Certificate no. UG92580A for Industrial Design by the Directorate of Industrial Design (DIT) in October, 2022. This Accreditation culminated into the Certificate of Training in Industrial Design programs.
Advanced Certificate in Industrial design For a person to be admitted for the Advanced Certificate in Industrial design, they must hold a Bachelor degree in a design related course such as Bachelor of Architecture; Bachelor of Environmental Design; Bachelor of Fine Art; Bachelor of Art & Industrial design; Bachelor of Science in Engineering from an accredited institution.
The course shall take the form of a Weekend residential arrangement (Friday to Sunday) for Six (6) Months starting March 2023 to August, 2023. Only persons who have completed the Advanced certificate shall be eligible for admission for the first cohort of the Diploma in Industrial design at the college in September, 2023.
The Advanced Certificate and Diploma Curriculum have been written in such a way that the capitalise of the candidates already received skills in design, take them through rigorous training so that they can, on completion of the two, be able to start off on their own and open Industrial design firms as well as cottage industries. It is the College strategy that all its graduates start off their own practices and grow them systematically over the years rather than have educational qualifications that leave graduates seeking for employment. .
We have also worked out an arrangement with some internationally acclaimed universities with Industrial design to get some of our graduates have some sessions of at least two weeks to train with them. This will be on a case-by-case basis. For more details please email: scid@scid.ac.ug or Call +256-783-164909
