MAIN FOCUS IN EDUCATION All of the activities at Domus Academy have been conceived as a great laboratory for the research and exploration of future scenarios. The presence of multidisciplinary teams, the fact that students come from all over the world, and the institution’s vocation for research (typical of Italian design) are its most important components, the ones that characterize its work and study environment. Education at Domus Academy is based on Master courses, joined by brief courses for students and tailor-made courses created for companies, institutions and executives. Traditionally and historically, the Master courses are the most prestigious training options available at Domus Academy. Lasting between 11 and 13 months, the Master courses are aimed at graduate students from diverse disciplines, and are recognized internationally by the University of Wales. Teaching and training develop according to DA’s typical formula, offering each student the opportunity to develop a research project in line with his or her specific interests, and in collaboration with a highly-qualified staff of teachers, designers, consultants and internationally-recognized visiting professors. Thanks to its special characteristics, this training helps students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to work at a high professional level, conferring upon them a prestigious diploma that is recognized the world over. |
