Presentation
The degree in Product Design aims to provide students with multidisciplinary training through holistic co-operation between different academic fields.
The philosophy behind the design of the course is based on developing a multidisciplinary and versatile profile that serves the interests and needs of institutions, companies and design studios. The knowledge and experience acquired, both in the foundational areas of Arts, Communication and Design and Materials and Production Technologies and complemented by the Social Sciences and Humanities and Economic and Business Sciences, are intended to help students to develop a multidisciplinary and versatile profile centred on the development of design skills.
As a result, students will be able to apply their critical and innovative thinking, adapted to today’s world, and to respond thoughtfully and responsibly to the needs and demands of the user and society, in a variety of working environments.
