The Master's Degree in Design evokes three fundamental axes of design practice: laboratory experience, authorship and innovation. Through pedagogical strategies that encourage the development of research skills, students will have access to multidisciplinary proposals where they develop both their sense of authorship and a comprehensive understanding of the stages of design: research, conception and execution. Understanding the role of design in contemporary society, the program values ??institutional and industrial partnerships, in addition to promoting a sustainable and ethical approach, encouraging creative solutions with a positive impact on society. The selection of students for this cycle is based on the analysis of the candidates' curricula and portfolios. With modern facilities, workshops and technological equipment, the master's degree's main objective is to promote reflection on the design dimension of the design artifact. Highlighting the set of transversal mediations across various areas of knowledge, it seeks to consolidate the acquisition of creative, analytical and discursive skills essential to training interventionist students with critical, cultural and social awareness.
