Master in Strategic Design and Innovation

Master in Strategic Design and Innovation: creating holistic solutions to today’s challenges

In the current changing and competitive environment, innovation has become a fundamental pillar for companies to generate value, strengthen their position in the market and differentiate themselves from the competition.

This business innovation goes beyond the creation of new products and services, as it involves understanding both the environment and the users, in order to anticipate changes and design solutions that respond to their needs.

The Master in Strategic Design and Innovation combines creativity, business strategy and business vision to tackle complex problems from a human-centred approach. Through user research and analysis, you will be able to detect opportunities for improvement and create solid, viable and scalable value propositions. All of this, taking into account new technologies, ethics and sustainability.

Throughout the Master in Strategic Design and Innovation you will explore new methodologies, design innovative solutions and work on the validation of ideas before their implementation. With this, you will be prepared to drive transformation within organisations, lead change and create strategies that generate a real impact on the way companies design, operate and create value.

The Master in Strategic Design and Innovation is structured in two postgraduate programs: A first Postgraduate in Service Design, which focuses on a detailed exploration of the fundamentals of strategic design; and a second Postgraduate in Business Innovation, which delves into the direct application of strategic design in real-world contexts and organizations.

We offer you 3 itineraries within the discipline of Strategic Design:

• Take either of the two postgraduate programs independently.
• Start with one of the two postgraduate programs: Service Design or Business Innovation, and then continue with the second postgraduate program to complete the Master’s Degree.
• Enroll directly in the Master’s Degree and take both postgraduate programs at a discount.

You choose the option that best suits your needs.
