Companies in all industries need a different figure of the Creative Director, a person who is capable of coordinating and dialoguing with diverse specialists working in the same environment. The challenge is to break through the boundaries that have been created among disciplines, reaching a way of thinking more focused on managing processes that drive creativity, strategies and business.
The Master of Comunication Design Labs teaches students through a range of activities such as: workshops, seminars, cases studies, master classes, trips, visits and the development of a research thesis. At the end of this educational journey, students will be able to manage and coordinate inter-disciplinary teams to conceptualize, develop and communicate innovative ideas; lead multidisciplinary teams; build and communicate lasting concepts; design long-term strategies; establish personal contacts with diverse professionals in a creative environment; and “un-specialize” and “un-learn” in order to have a broader vision.
Trips: The MA includes some trips and excursions to national and international destinations depending on the contents and the needs of the programme (the transfers and accommodation are included in the price of the MA).
Language: Classes will be held in English and/or Spanish
The main professional opportunities for students of this Master include: Creative Director, Accounts Director, Marketing Director, Brand Manager, Strategic Director and Conceptual Designer.
