What can you do with it?

The proposed profile aligns with the needs of a rapidly expanding market that requires technical intellectuals capable of designing new products, services, communication artifacts, systems, and strategies (product design, packaging design, exhibit design, visual and graphic design, web and new media design, UX/UI, etc.) across various sectors.

Career opportunities for Design graduates are available in both the private sector (large companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, professional studios in design and communication, service agencies in the field of new technologies, etc.) and the public sector (national, regional, and municipal administrations, other public institutions working in the promotion and communication of cultural, educational, social, and territorial resources).

Subject to curriculum evaluation, Design graduates can also continue their studies in the Master’s Degree program in Design, Sustainability, and Digital Culture for the Territory or other Master’s Degree programs.
