2011 Master Scholarships for International Students in Politecnico di Milano and POLI.design in Italy

ID4A – Industrial Design for Architecture Politecnico di Milano, first level university Master program organised by the polytechnic’s POLI.design Consortium in collaboration with Giugiaro Architettura.The Master program will be conducted in English. The Master program has been launched in response to the needs of a constantly changing job market, with a strong demand for trained professionals able to operate in contexts other than those typically associated with architecture.
The importance given to practical training and field work means that the ID4A Master program prepares System Designers able to operate on a large scale: from the design of single elements, products or components, to that of complex systems designed to be applicable in different construction contexts. It trains versatile professionals with a flexible mindset enabling them to successfully confront the challenges of global design in the differing national and international realities of the sector.
