Beginning: 4th November, 2010
During: 11 months
The teaching activity of the Master course follows a structure consisting of three main parts:
1. The first part of the course (November - May) is mainly didactic and is articulated in lectures and seminars, that is workshops where the students work in team on a brief given by partner companies and by the MBD team.
2. The focus (May - July) consists of a moment of work and research that each student carries out in a company or consulting or design studio, broadening one of the themes faced during the first part of the course.
3. The course is concluded with a final project, the thesis (September - October) that the students have to develop under the guidance of MBD staff and a mentor chosen among the members of the Faculty or among the visiting professors of the course.
The course lasts 11 months, from November to October.
Lectures are held from Monday to Friday, from 09.30 to 13.30, and from 14.30 to 17.30. Attendance is compulsory.
Lectures and workshops are mainly held in English language.
At the end of the four modules, a three-months deepening time takes place during which students have the chance to deal with specific facets of the business world through meetings, technical visits and discussions. This time allows students to collect useful information and materials for the Master Thesis.
