The aim of this department is to train professionals capable of working methodically and consciously in order to improve living environments through the design of innovative, practical and functional solutions/products of great industrial scope. The training takes into account the culture of the environment, the tradition of applied arts, the culture of industrial design and the applications of new technologies on design. It leads the student to enter the world of business with full intellectual awareness and the indispensable operative instruments; to make creative designs and realisations of modern design products; to set up the development of new lines and products that are strongly oriented towards innovation. The design and development of 3D products explain how to translate concepts into digital designs, manufacture them using 3D printers and transform them into finished products.

Internships in local companies complete the training. In the first three years of the Professional Degree, the teaching units are as follows:
