The postgraduate course is divided into complementary modules that grow in complexity as the postgraduate progresses.The entire process ends with an individual practical project. The project gives students the opportunity to put into practice what we learned during the postgraduate course and verify the viability of them in the support of a sponsoring company.Class time is divided into theoretical classes taught by renowned practitioners, workshops, city tours to explore innovative on-site businesses and discussions with professionals to learn their opinions and knowledge.
