Objectives The master's in design lasts two years, divided into four semesters, in which the first two are oriented towards exercises that focus on actions related to the processes of "information", "learning", and "abstraction", and the last two focus on actions related to the processes of "acting", "doing", and "materializing". Recipients The Master in Design of Universidade Lusófona aims at attracting students from areas of knowledge and competences in the scope of design, marketing, management, economics, engineering, architecture, psychology, philosophy, art,..., because its objectives, contents and exercises present multidisciplinary practices natural to the activity of design, and because creativity and the materialization of ideas into "objects" is not an exclusivity of the traditional model of design and is open to students coming from other areas of knowledge. Career Prospects In the scope of the professional outputs of the Master in Design, competences result that privilege the activity in 4 areas of activity in society: - Design Management, oriented to activities such as Design manager, Product manager, R&D manager, Project manager, Project, oriented to activities such as Product design, Environments, Communication, Branding, Services, Interaction, - Research in Design, oriented to activities such as Creative Processes, Society, Health and Wellness, Territory, City, Education, Trends, Mobility - Art in Design, oriented to activities such as Authored Design, Design-Artist, Edition Design. Main ideas to retain about our master's program: - It presents a new vision about design and its role in society. - It draws on non-traditional areas of knowledge in design because it considers them essential to producing design. - It is not exclusively addressed to students with a degree in design. - From the very first class, the final thesis project is developed. - We look at the person and not the client, both from the perspective of our students but also, and most importantly, from the perspective of the client.
