It covers the entire process of designing spaces for hotels, restaurants and retail: from conceiving the idea to planning and communicating the final proposal.
The Master’s Degree in Interior Design for Hotels and Gastronomic and Commercial Spaces offers comprehensive training to deal with all types of projects within the discipline, and focuses on the design of spaces for the hotel, restaurant and commercial sectors.
At the end of the program, you will be able to conceptualize, develop your designs and propose solutions to specific problems within the hospitality sector.
From a critical and contemporary perspective, you will research formal, functional and technical aspects, in addition to taking a deeper look at how to communicate proposals through techniques such as rendering, graphic communication and oral presentation to a professional audience or a client.
Your training, led by professionals specialized in the different areas covered by the master's degree, will be complemented with visits to relevant spaces used by the sector, as well as conferences and workshops. In addition, you will undertake various projects based on company briefs, which will allow you to have constant and direct contact with professional reality.
