About the university
Founded in Milan in 1954, SPD Scuola Politecnica di Design is the first school in Italy dedicated to design disciplines.
Thanks to the mix of its Italian roots and strong international orientation, SPD is now an international laboratory for sharing experiences and creating initiatives by maintaining a balance between function and expression, production and experimentation. This immensely fulfilling conversation with businesses, manufacturers, and the other players along the design chain is also demonstrated by the innovative work produced each year and the young professionals the school is able to give to the market.

At SPD, being creative is a daily task. It has accepted an amazing community of students from all nations and backgrounds ever since its founding in 1954. Everyone has an unparalleled opportunity: they collaborate with top-notch professionals, converse with numerous academic partners, and exchange experiences with emerging talent from across the globe.
All of this occurs in Milan, a city with a rich and easily accessible legacy of design and architecture, business and industry, communication, and the arts.
