Bachelor’s degree program in
DESIGN DEL PRODOTTO E DELLA NAUTICA
(Product and Nautical Design)
(enrollment limited to 150 students) - tree years duration
based in Genoa
Chair: Prof. Carlo Vannicola
[email protected]
Educational objectives
The goal of the degree program is to
educate a designer in industrial design,
advertising and publishing graphic
design, and the design and construction
processes of boats and related
components.
The training is focused on aspects of the
technical and administrative management
of the design process, with the end
result of educate a professional who can
work in collaboration with the various
participants of the entire process, fully
understanding and coordinating their
respective areas of expertise.
Graduates must know methods,
tools, and techniques for the design
of industrial products, styles of visual
communication, and boats’ fundamentals
and technologies. They must also
understand the process experience of
manufacturing and materials application,
techniques of representation, and graphic
and multimedia processing.
Professional opportunities
The areas of employment for graduates
in Design del Prodotto e della Nautica are
as freelance professionals or in positions
in public and private agencies, design
studios and firms, companies operating
in the area of industrial design and visual
or multimedia communication, naval and
nautical shipyards, and companies that
operate in sectors related to the boating
industry.
Educational activities
The program has a duration of three
years. The academic year is divided
in two semesters: the first semester
begins in October and ends in January,
the second semester begins in March
and ends in June. During the month
of February there is a break between
semesters while examinations are held.
To obtain the degree the student must
earn 180 credits (ECTS), 60 credits
per year including an internship of
approximately 300 hours.
In order to facilitate the combination of
educational and professional aspects, the
School has made agreements with public
and private companies to provide two
types of internships:
-Practical training called for by the
didactic requirements, which awards
credits stipulated as “other training” by
the curricula of the degree programs;
-Optional internships that allow
undergraduates and recent graduates
(within 18 months of graduation)
to engage in a sustained period of
professional activity of three months, six
months or more, up to a maximum of
twelve months. An international internship
within the European community is also
available.
During the Course, an international
students’ mobility experience is available
according to the Erasmus European
exchange program.
