Jordi Blasi - Program Director
Today's consumer is a more demanding user and the Product designer becomes an essential piece: the necessary link between the user and the industry. For this, it is essential to train professionals who are capable of detecting industrial design problems, providing creative and innovative solutions and who have the necessary tools and methodologies to be able to go through the different phases of product development and determine their manufacture.
In this Online Master of Product Design , the world of ideas will be addressed, but also their management, user approach techniques, sketching , representation techniques based on specific software, mechanisms, materials, processes and manufacturing techniques. It is a general and eminently practical Master.
The transversal nature of this training in product design also enables the student in those new professional opportunities linked to Industrial Design in the fields of Marketing and Design Thinking .
