Offering graduate students a unique opportunity to become global leaders in the emerging field of inclusive design in information and communication technologies (ICT) and practices. Inclusive Design advances accessibility, and encompasses the full range of human diversity including ability, language, culture, gender and age. Inclusive Design recognizes that we aren’t all the same. Design must be usable, flexible, and customizable among other qualities to be truly inclusive. From policies, customer service, infrastructure, technology, buildings to everyday products—we can design so that everyone can be accommodated and included.

The Master's Program in Graphic Design offers a high level of professional preparation which is based on the design method, the mastery of technical and technological skills, and the continuous updating about the latest market demands. Besides a strong cultural background on the roots and evolutions of design and visual communication, our students receive constant training on the most used and advanced software thanks to the development of many projects.

With the Master's Degree in Design and Communication you will be able to develop research activities and train yourself to conceive design strategies, formalize them, analyze them and reflect on them.

The University Master in Design is an advanced, specialized and multidisciplinary training aimed at professional specialization and initiation into research activities about design and from a design point of view. Also, since it is an University Master's Degree, provides access to a doctoral programme in a related area.

The Master in Communication and Web Technologies (MCTW) arises to meet the training needs of professionals qualified in the conceptualization, development, and evaluation of communication solutions supported by Web technologies, promoting the ability to investigate and propose future solutions, both in current and emerging technologies.

The proliferation of information and data available today provides both challenges and opportunities for how we understand, navigate and communicate our complex world.
