Master’s degrees are aimed at candidates with a degree relevant to the course of studies of interest and with an adequate portfolio. Students who have graduated in different disciplines can access to a One-Year Courses, at the end of which admission to the Master may be requested.

To start the admission process SPD requires the following documents:

• cv,
• portfolio,
• motivation letter,
• copy of transcripts,
• copy of bachelor degree (if you already graduate),
• copy of your id/passport.

You can send us all documents in PDF at info@scuoladesign.com. Candidates will be contacted for an interview in presence or online.

The portfolio is a fundamental tool to get to know you better: SPD suggests you to send your resume and present all the projects showing your main abilities acquired so far, including the entire creative process and the final version of the project itself.

Students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to secure a place as the SPD programs have a limited number of participants.

SPD do not require a specific English certificate; however, an English test is made during the interview to verify the speaking and comprehension level of the student that should be at least equivalent to an intermediate one.

SPD masters offer academic qualifications corresponding to 60 CFU/ECTS credits; they are promoted in collaboration with IULM University.

Master programs have a professional orientation and renowned designers in different fields. The final internship (or project work) allows the students to join primary firms and to consolidate their skills in a challenging environment. This is effective training for future professionals.
