The Big 'D'
Technology and design are essential to the world’s well-being and progress. Ever since the invention of the world’s first light bulb, design in technology has been the forerunner of countless new discoveries. With machinery that is unsurpassed in speed and efficiency, new inventions have sprouted all over the globe. Indeed, possibilities are endless in a day and age where information is rampant and new designs and discoveries are shared the moment they emerge.

The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) aims to become the centre and stronghold of global research and breakthroughs through creative technical research and education anchored in design within a multi-disciplinary approach. We call this focus on design the Big 'D', where we do not just produce graduates well-versed in technical functionality, but a new breed of the brightest technical minds that understands form to design the new innovations of tomorrow. We will inspire all that goes through our doors in the art and science of design to ensure that architectural, systems and engineering inventions of tomorrow are both a technical breakthrough and a resonating lifestyle appeal.

By developing pioneering curriculum and research, this Big 'D' movement will further push the envelope, inspire young minds and motivate impactful achievements in innovation, society and the economy.
