Spaces that communicate! The Master’s Degree in Interior Design for Hotels, Bars, Restaurants and Commercial Property explains the work that goes into the design of these spaces and why this particular area of design is in greater demand now than ever before. It’s a cross-disciplinary field in which complex elements have to work together to obtain the desired result: to create interior spaces with personality that users who are constantly evolving can relate to and connect with.
As an interior design specialist, you’ll play a key role in creating the relationship between brand and consumer. When you’ve finished your master’s degree, you’ll be skilled in the coordination and management of the tools and resources used in different disciplines: branding, commercial strategy, visual merchandising and new technologies. You’ll also have extensive experience with the themes intrinsic to design: conceptualisation, formalisation, materialisation, illumination, representation and management, among others.
In this master’s degree program you’ll acquire the know-how and strategies you need to improve the skills used in interior design projects, studying aspects such as leadership in innovation processes, creativity, project development and management.
