Master

A IED Master Course is a training pathway lasting at least 400 hours of classroom lectures (40 CF) that can be attended in different ways - even at distance – by students with a First Level degree (Bachelor’s degree) (180 CF) or a three-year undergraduate qualification obtained from a private school at university level.

The IED Master Courses are conceived together with companies and are aimed at preparing students to face the world of work and to build their personal professional identity by combining different knowledge.

As a matter of fact, they are addressed to:

- students who have just finished university so that they can gain professionalism or follow a research career aimed at developing their personal knowledge;
- students who obtained a university degree in areas different from design so that they can build a career in the design, fashion, and visual communication fields;
- students with a business experience and already involved in the world of work so that they can strengthen and improve their personal knowledge and professionalism.
