Since 2009

Aakaar means form.

We named the university for the moment an idea takes shape in your hands. Everything here — the studios, the timetable, even the lawn — is designed around that moment.

“A degree should leave you with a shelf of things you made, not a stack of notes you memorised.”

The method

01.

Make it first

Every course opens with a build, not a lecture.

02.

Break it

Critique, test and fail on purpose, in public.

03.

Teach it back

You're done when you can teach it to a first-year.
