Program Overview

Study Graphic Design & Digital Media in English in Florence, Italy, with options for a one-year Diploma or a two-year Advanced Diploma.

The one-year Diploma is an intensive two-term program ideal for students new to graphic design. The course introduces fundamental principles of visual communication, including design theory, research, concept development, typography, composition, illustration, and digital design techniques.
