Program description
Determine ways to create brand-new products that exactly address consumers' needs.
This necessitates the creation of novel environmental experiences that raise people's standard of living without compromising on environmental standards.
All of this is possible with a degree from IED Milano's Product Design program.
In our Product Design degree program at IED Milano, we take a user-centered approach to product development. We will focus on both the manufacturing of products (the "real world" aspect of projects) and the provision of associated services.
Through hands-on exercises and interactive workshops, you will gain exposure to the interdisciplinary nature of this role.
At the end of the course you get First Level Academic Diploma in Design - Specialization in Product Design. This Diploma, accredited by Ministry of University and Research, is equivalent to a Bachelor of Arts Degree.

About the university
Since 1966, we have been the largest Higher Education Network in the creative area to keep both a worldwide perspective and a strongly Italian cultural matrix.
Our educational strategy has evolved over time, but at its core remains the same: we mix theoretical study with hands-on experience and the expertise of working experts. One of the things we emphasize in our classes is always thinking ahead, in the here and now. We are a diverse, multidisciplinary institution that views design as a tool for social transformation.
Among the many international academic networks in which we participate are Cumulus, Elia, and WDO, just to name a few.
Campuses
In the 1970s and 1980s, we expanded to Rome (1973), Cagliari (1984), and Turin (1989) in Italy.
Beginning in 1994 with the Madrid campus and continuing on to Barcelona in 2002, Spain's modern era began in the 1990s.
The Group also spread internationally, establishing a presence in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2005, and then in Venice, Italy, in 2007, Florence, Italy, in 2009, and Como, Italy, in 2009, with the acquisition of the Aldo Galli Academy of Fine Arts. The Group expanded its footprint in Brazil in 2014 by renovating the Cassino da Urca and opening a campus in Rio de Janeiro; in 2020, the Group will expand its presence in Spain by purchasing the Centro Superior de Diseo Kunsthal in Bilbao.
