Presentation
The Master’s Degree in Integrated Design (MID) is structured around project-based methodologies. The main aim is the possibility of creating a training platform where students can build their future.
The basic idea is to develop a professional profile capable of adapting to the context, where each student knows how to interpret and thus adapt to the constant changes presented by and characterising our reality.
The curricular structure of the MID is aimed at providing students with analytical and project expertise and skills in the design area that can develop into the strategic thinking needed for operating in a business context.
