Description

The two-year Master of Arts Degree (MA) in Communication Design provides solid training in conceiving and designing integrated marketing and communication campaigns. Students will use a wide range of technical disciplines - graphic design, media design, environmental design - in an instructional approach that combines classroom theory with workshop practice, and research with experimentation.

Cross-disciplinary seminars encourage enlightening and fruitful exchanges with students enrolling in other NABA programs. Students also participate in numerous projects commissioned by companies or institutions and supervised by a team of professors and representatives from the commissioning organizations. These projects provide real-world challenges and expose students to the realities of working in collaborative multidisciplinary teams that are so prevalent in the professional environment.

The workshops help students improve their critical thinking abilities and sharpen their problem-solving skills, while utilizing the latest design tools and technologies to come up with innovation solutions in areas such as brand design, visual design, environmental design, multi-media publishing, as well as institutional communication, service/product communication and internal communication, in both B-to-B and B-to-C contexts.

Highlights

NABA's education integrates the traditional disciplines of visual representation, the contemporary digital practices as well as the critical project culture of Italian design. NABA's training philosophy is based on the project-applied Art, synthesis of creative sensitivity, critical-methodological knowledge and technical-manual know-how. NABA's programs are characterised by an interdisciplinary methodology aimed at the development of artistic-professional skills and profiles. This approach is the result of a constant experimentation, of a strong vocation to research and to the relation with the artistic and productive context as well as of an attention paid to the ethic dimension of training.
