The course in brief

Presentation

Event is one of the most frequently used words in current events: it indicates actions, periods, performances, cultural manifestations. The event is a dissemination process and a link between the product understood as a commodity and the product understood as a cultural asset; it is an activity serving a supply chain or a territory.

The Master's Degree Course in Product and Event Design trains product designers, communication designers, brand designers, event designers and evolves the figure of the designer into a global consultant, capable of coordinating the entire process from conception to distribution and image dissemination.
