Methodology and objectives

The objective of the one-year course in Global Design is the teaching of fundamentals of creation, both at theoretical and practical levels, to obtain a wide education that enables students’ incorporation to different disciplines. The course trains students to become able to create a concept and express an idea through several disciplines.

The course will be developed in three modules:

• A theoretical module to acquire academic knowledge
• A practical module to acquire techniques
• A module for multidisciplinary projects

At the end of the course students can create their own work portfolio, an essential tool in the world of design to break into the professional life with more guarantees. The said portfolio captures the practical abilities of a designer, who can show it to future clients or other design schools or institutions.
