Introduction detail

These words could not be truer anywhere than at ISDM.

ISDM's PGP DM program brings together students from different interests, backgrounds and geographies and we value the contextual inputs that the uniqueness of each student brings to the institution.

Our learning pedagogies and activities within the classroom and outside it are fundamentally geared towards creating an enriching experience for our students through enabling 'physical' and intellectual spaces for co-creation, exchange of ideas and learning together.
