Program Overview


Master in Design

The Master in Design of the University of Aveiro, now renewed (2nd cycle of training), aims to provide students with critical awareness and creative capacity, leading to a competent professional practice of Design.


Curricular Plan

The curricular plan presents itself with a common core, which through the combination of optional CUs (A, B and C), will allow students to have a more generalist or more specialised training. Its cycle of studies, maintaining the scientific subareas of Drawing (DES), Communication Design (DSCO), Industrial Design (DSIN) and Design Studies (EDS), will allow specialisation in:


  • DESIGN, developing generalist skills from Industrial Design to Service Design to respond to the labour market almost entirely made up of SMEs and therefore a receiver of multi-skilled professionals, contributing towards inclusive innovation.
  • COMMUNICATION DESIGN, training designers with skills in the graphic areas of branding, identity, editorial, typography, illustration and infographics, with a broad professional vocation to integrate design project companies, graphic industries, publishing houses, internal communication offices of organizations, production and distribution of tradable goods, in addition to the media (news) with particular relevance to newspapers (analogue and digital).
  • INTERACTION DESIGN, training designers with skills in the field of digital interaction, interfaces and experience (DI/UI/UX), art direction in web platforms.

Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals

The University of Aveiro adopted the SDG Keyword Mapping, developed by the University of Auckland in New Zealand, to identify correspondences in the training offer. This method aims to inform and sensitize students to real and current issues, empowering them and getting them actively involved in sustainable development. The analysis of the contribution of the training offer to the SDGs will also make it possible to promote the continuous improvement of the teaching-learning process.
