Studies

The programme was so well received that the first edition of the International Design Project Semester (IDPS) [2] , which follows the same structure as the EPS but focuses on industrial design, has been launched in the 2011–2012 academic year. In addition, the School has international mobility agreements with some 15 European universities.
