From brand strategy to product design, including fashion, communication and events: the final projects of IED Milano’s Master's Programs bring together research, creativity and companies.

From 16 October to 26 November 2026, IED Milano hosts the Master’s Programs thesis sessions, where students present the projects developed at the end of their courses, working on real briefs and challenges set by partner companies.

The projects explore changes in the creative industries and respond to new market needs. Partners include Lavazza, The North Face, B&B Hotels, L’Officiel Italia, WWF and Cosmoprof. They present challenges in different fields, from digital strategies and brand identity to art direction, interior design, corporate communication and the development of new event formats.

Through research, experimentation and collaboration with industry professionals, students apply the skills they have gained during their Master’s Programs. They develop strategies, products and communication projects that respond to real needs. This experience encourages creative thinking, design skills and the ability to turn ideas and goals into projects that meet professional needs.
