Overview
A unique study program based on an interdisciplinary approach and combining design, management, marketing and information technologies.
The program prepares specialists who will be able to create the organization′s visual identity and visual communication in accordance with its business philosophy, using modern design solutions.
Today, design has become an integral part of business management: „design is part of the business DNA because there are three design legacies that have organizational components: traditions or practices (applied design methods), approaches (focused on individuals, oriented toward processes, problem resolution or cost minimization) and organizational purposes (visions, missionsand strategic objectives)”(Junginger, 2015). Design has become one of the strategic factors that determine the company′s competitiveness, and also forms the company′s intellectual capital.
