Design real products: from ideation to industrial production
The Professional Master’s Degree in Product Design and Digital Modelling enables you to transform concepts into tangible, manufacturable physical objects. Here, you move beyond designing shapes to developing industrial solutions, mastering the balance between aesthetics, functionality, and manufacturing processes.
Learn from today’s design leaders:
You will be guided by an internationally prestigious teaching team active in the industry. Among them is Héctor Serrano, an industrial designer and winner of the 2024 National Design Award, with a consolidated career developing products for brands such as Muji, Roca, or Moooi, and whose pieces are part of collections like the V&A in London. Alongside him, Miquel Tejero, CEO at Arribell and winner of 8 Cannes Lions, provides a strategic vision of innovation applied to design, with experience for brands such as American Express or Etnia Barcelona.
Through a methodology focused on product development, you will master:
