Design (Masters)

The Master’s degree in design offers three possible specializations: Wood Design/Industrial Design, Fashion Design, and Textile Arts/Textile Design. Building on the content of the Bachelor’s program, it demands and promotes a higher level of creative and intellectual thought. Our students deepen their understanding of design in a variety of contexts (from economic to ecological), work on collaborative projects with partners from research and industry, and explore their own artistic vision through the execution of independent projects. They graduate with a strong understanding of both the creative and technical sides of design, ready to work as independent artists or to take on design jobs in commerce and industry.

Important: for the inclusion of this study is required an aptitude test. Dates and more information on the entrance examination here.
