Department of Applied Arts and Design
Three year course
The Set Design School endorses a training path which consolidates its solid, historical track record and at the same time now aims to integrate artistic research and production. The First level Course includes a study plan focused on historical-cultural and technical-artistic subjects designed to endorse the value of the project and artistic experimentation, the in-depth study of technological and descriptive tools, both contemporary and traditional, concerning the use and space management and the principles of image representation. The Accademia will organize, in agreement with public and private organizations, the most appropriate internships and placements in order to forge specific professional skills and will go on to delineate specific training models for each course of study.
