THREE-YEARS and MASTER COURSES in

Three-Year Courses are post-secondary school courses with obligatory attendance, designed for a limited number of students who want to take their talent and creativity and transform them into a profession, as well as to acquire knowledge as a means of constructing the personal, professional and social project for their own lives. The training aims at achieving three basic objectives: knowledge of technologies, of materials and of design culture, the ability to understand the market and its requirements and the ability to communicate the qualities of design.

The first year is devoted to acquiring the basic methodology necessary for students to adopt the right approach to creative work. In the years that follow, there is a more intense focus on design activities developed on the base of real client briefs, supported by the guidance of lecturers and by the supervision of consultants in the field in question. The well-established relationship between IED and the working world enables students to take part in events, seminars and competitions: often real working experience that culminates in dissertation projects. This stimulates students to acquire critical skills, to operate independently, to make decisions and to relate to the client, just as they would do in their real professional careers.

Master courses

The courses are addressed to newly-graduated students and practising professionals. IED Masters launch professionals that have the abilities to:

• deal with the complexity of the contemporary world
• consciously tackle the new requirements of production
• open windows onto potential new worlds
• interact competently in professional circumstances

These advanced study program with flexible curricula are designed to cater for the increasing complexity of the labour market.

One-Year Courses
Held in English, the courses in this one-year full immersion are designed to enable students to experiment and pick up the basic tools of design. Theory lessons are accompanied by creative workshops, visits to firms, trade fairs and industrial events, meetings with practising professionals.

Summer Courses
If you have already started work and are interesting in broadening your horizons of expertise and giving your CV a more competitive edge, then this is an ideal formula for you.
Every year, during June and July, IED offers intermediate and advanced courses in the fields of Fashion, Design and Visual Arts. These courses are held in English and generally last from three to four weeks.
They are a perfect solution for those who desire to combine their spare time during holidays with a new stimulating experience. Following a precise methodology and guided by professors, who are all professionals from the chosen field, students will experience the development of a project specific to their interests.

Continuing Study Program
These are typically very flexible modular courses with diversified didactic contents: features that enable personal curricula to be organised to suit each individual’s specific requirements.
Attendance from a minimum of one to a maximum of five days a week, duration from one to nine months, the restricted numbers of students and the fact that the lecturers are all practising professionals are just some of these courses’ distinctive traits.
The topics tackled may be dealt with differently from one location to another in terms of formula, duration and depth.
