Your learning, which will gradually grow in complexity, will include both technical skills and knowledge linked to your specialization as well as soft skills and international projection, as the course is bilingual.  

Much of your practical training will take place in the Fab Lab, where you will experiment with a variety of materials (wood, composites, metal, ceramics, textiles, biomaterials, new recycled materials, etc.) and techniques, combining the most traditional ones with 3D printing, laser cutting, digital milling (CNC), thermoforming or screen printing.

In addition to the practical work provided for in the curriculum, you can participate in the Design Labs, complementary activities to enhance soft skills or advanced techniques of your interest.

Who is this for?
