DEGREE in DESIGN

In a complex, interconnected, and constantly changing world, design cannot be limited to a single perspective. It needs to integrate diverse approaches— technological, social, cultural, and economic—to provide effective and sustainable responses. That is why design is global and interdisciplinary: only in this way can it anticipate needs, adapt to different contexts, and generate solutions with real impact.

The Bachelor's Degree in Design at the University of Navarra offers comprehensive training in creativity, technique, and strategy. It is a comprehensive program that combines theory and practice to train versatile designers who are prepared for the future.
