IED UNDERGRA DUATE

CO URSES

Structured on the basis of three years curriculum and earning 180 academic credits, the undergraduate academic courses have three aims: to impart knowledge about the technologies, materials and culture of design, to teach the ability to understand the market and its requirements and to communicate the quality of design. The first year is devoted to learning the basic methodology needed for a correct approach to any creative undertaking.

In the following years, real client briefs provide the basis for intensifying the design activities, which are also backed up by supervision from consultants working in the sector in question. The fact that each course includes a series of professional specialisations (Majors) that vary with the location of the campuses, enables students to benefit from the cases of excellence and the opportunities offered by the contexts where the schools operate. Most of the courses held in the Milan and Rome campuses have achieved recognition from the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR) as First Level Academic Diplomas (Ministerial Decree 10/12/2010 N°292).
