Thanks to this approach, it will be possible to draw unprecedented connections between different projects, including tourism, culture, art, architecture, and food. The aim is to enhance design as a tool to promote an area's unique identity.
The course is rooted in the rich heritage of Italian graphic design and features a team of lecturers owning international experience. As part of the educational approach, you will receive theoretical training featuring extensive project and workshop activities. All this will stimulate you to seek innovative solutions through experimentation.
Students will be able to share knowledge and skills in an immersive, interdisciplinary environment through case studies, business challenges, and project work with partner companies.
You will learn how to develop strategic thinking, which is essential for managing complex projects at all levels. It is our goal to stimulate you to find innovative solutions for different areas, from brand design to advertising, from data visualisation to infographics, from web design to creative coding and motion design.
The course is intended for you, a "future designer" capable of not only contributing to institutional and social communication activities, but also embracing strategic and original thinking, resulting in innovation and new perspectives.
Independent of your career goals (such as becoming a Brand Designer, Art Director, Data Visualizer, or Digital Product Designer), this course will prepare you to work in international communication agencies, design studios, technology companies or digital start-ups, opening up a wide range of opportunities.
In addition, the course is designed to develop a strong entrepreneurial spirit in you. It is also designed to provide you with critical skills such as authoritativeness and leadership, qualities that are essential for leading teams and working groups.
A Graphic Design course taught in English allows students to communicate effectively with professionals and clients at international level, giving them a competitive advantage in the global job market.
Studying Graphic Design in Rome is a significant added value. The city is a crossroads of diverse cultures that are expressed in numerous ways.
