The Interior, Product and Mobility Design area focuses on training professionals capable of operating in the design of spaces, products and mobility systems through an approach that integrates technical competencies, design methodologies and awareness of social and technological transformation processes

The learning path develops the ability to respond to contemporary and future needs through the design of environments, objects and systems that consider quality of life, technological evolution and social impact as fundamental parameters.

The teaching methodology is based on the integration of creativity, technical competence, sustainability and digital innovation, prioritising a critical and conscious approach to design. The learning process develops through research activities, analysis of reality and applied experimentation.

Students acquire the ability to develop projects that respond to complex requirements, operating in contexts characterised by continuous evolution and requiring interdisciplinary competencies.

Interior and Spatial Design

Training of designers capable of intervening in private, public and commercial spaces, with particular attention to the relationship between form, function and identity. Design activity involves physical and digital environments, the study of materials, lighting, colour and comfort, with integration of sustainability and innovation criteria.

Product and Service Design

Design of objects, systems and services through a user-centred approach focused on social impact. Courses address the study of materials, technologies, ergonomics and production processes, integrating design thinking and prototyping methodologies.

Transportation and Mobility Design

Study of mobility through the design of vehicles and systems that integrate aesthetic, functional, technological and sustainability aspects. Application areas include vehicle design, automotive interiors, human-machine interfaces and urban and shared mobility scenarios.
