That makes us different?
1. 25 years of experience training professionals
For 25 years, the Higher School of Technical Education has set as its objective the training of designers capable of facing challenges, capable of serving users and offering products and services that allow us to understand social needs, capable of integrating into productive dynamics and business in the search for innovations, able to understand the market as something alive, changing and sometimes uncertain.
Professionals such as Héctor Serrano, Miguel Herranz, Joaquín García, Alberto Cienfuegos, Inma Bermúdez, Xavi Calvo (Estudio Mint), José Aranda, Paula Aloy and Carlos Velasco (Enblanc), Clara del Portillo (Yonoh), Nacho Carbonell have trained with us , etc.
The value of studying the title of University Master in Product Design at the CEU UCH, lies in this differentiation of the focus on training, strongly linked to professionals and professional activity. A training that allows the student to develop projects in each of the fields of product design, placing the student directly in the labor and professional market, mainly through contact with active professionals and the business network throughout of your training
2. First level teachers
The University Master's Degree in Product Design counts as teachers, among others: Héctor Serrano, Enrique Miñarro, Borja García, ODOSDESIGN, EnBlanc, Marcelo Alegre, Yonoh Estdio, Luis Eslava, Marcelo Martínez Lax and a long etc.
3. Global vision
Designing is today a complex process of integration of knowledge and experiences, of knowledge and cultures, of technology and psychology, which allows decisions to be made to create objects, spaces and services close to people. A process that aims to serve society. And at the same time, a process that aims to serve the productive and business sectors that "need" to innovate in their products and services to serve an increasingly complex, globalized and competitive market.
4. Professional conferences and meetings
Among the activities developed, both meetings, conferences and conferences, it is worth noting the well-known 1000 hours of design organized by the Higher School of Technical Education for years, with highly regarded professionals in the world of design: Miquel Milá, Paco Bascuñan, Nacho Lavernia, Pepe Gimeno, Marisa Gallén, Juli Capella, Vicent Martínez, Lola Castelló, Mariscal, and so many others.
In the last three years, the technical education high school organizes the OFF DESIGN conference, with a multidisciplinary format in which the center of the activity is based on creativity: workshops, debates and workshops for a small group of students who for a week they are in contact with a large number of professionals, among which we can highlight Luis Eslava, Nacho Carbonell, Miguel Herranz, La Granja, EnBlanc Graphic Mint, etc., most of them trained at the School; and for the 2012 edition: Inma Bermúdez, Belén Payá, Ramón Esteve, Xavi Calvo (MentaGráfica), Xavi Mañoso (Aparatu), with the unique collaboration of the company Gandía Blasco, where students will develop a workshop with Studio Banana.
