Introduction
Why a Bachelor's Degree in Design?
Design has never been so important. It influences what we think, the way we feel and the decisions we make. It is in every product we use, the websites we browse or the apps we install on our smartphones.

- Skills: ability to successfully create, plan, implement and manage projects using the knowledge acquired;
- Attitude: develop personal attributes, such as flexibility, empathy, realism, and entrepreneurship.

We prepare professionals for several Design areas, offering an advanced and comprehensive higher education, coordinated and supported by the latest developments in the scientific and technological fields. The course plan for LSDM's Bachelor's degree in Design has been developed and divided into three separate stages:
Stage 1
The first stage, which corresponds to the first year of our course, aims to prepare LSDM's students for several Design areas through the contemporary and extensive comprehension of concepts, tools, history and design methods in general. It also aims to comprehend the links between the key areas of activity (such as communication, interaction, and product design) through the development of a comprehensive overview of the topics associated with the design's mission, its interaction with the markets and its role in society.
Stage 2
The second stage, which corresponds to the second year of our course, aims to instill solid skills for the development and implementation of projects. These skills are structured around the main areas of communication concept, interactive design, and product design. Students will be able to:
- Identify and analyze: analyze the environment in which problem-solving takes place, think creatively, identify the conditions and goals associated with problem-solving and identify the necessary resources and skills;
- Make choices: make decisions, understand the associated uncertainties and risks, foresee future implications of the decisions and develop argumentative capacity;
- Integrate: processes and the diversity of interests simultaneously with the increase of flexibility and innovation;
- Implement: planning and organization, a creation of suitable environments, implementation, and control, development of creative skills in the project design and execution stages.
Stage 3
The third stage, which corresponds to the third year of our course, aims to establish the knowledge acquired in previous course units to enable you to progress with self-confidence, realism, and entrepreneurship. In this stage, LSDM's students will develop their final course project through the following skills:
- Flexibility: being able to deal with a variety of design projects and adjust to changing circumstances as a multi-skilled professional and willing to work in a multidisciplinary team;
- Empathy: being able to understand and argue different points of view;
