National Institute of Design in Moscow Offers Various Design Programs
The National Institute of Design in Moscow operates with an indefinite state licence and accreditation in design, offering vocational, undergraduate, and postgraduate programs taught by working professionals.
Designers and Artists Established the Institute in 1999
The establishment of the school in 1999 was a joint initiative by two professional entities: the Guild of Art Projection of the Moscow Union of Artists and the Union of Designers of Russia. The founders positioned the institution as a school built by working designers specifically for future generations entering the profession.
Galina Kuvshinova has served as rector of the institute since 2019.

Instruction takes place at Entuziastov Highway 21 in Moscow, situated directly beside the Aviamotornaya metro station. Students utilize dedicated project workshops, computer rooms, print techniques laboratories, 3D printing labs, a photo laboratory, and a costume construction laboratory.
