About

The Master course in Food Design at Polytechnic School of Design aims at enabling students to become professionals of the food industry and of all the related sectors and to combine marketing and communication skills with sensitivity and with the ability to manage design project methods.

Overview

The Master in Food Design at Polytechnic School of Design develops the necessary skills to give a creative contribution to an increasingly growing sector, of which Italy constitutes one of the main benchmarks known worldwide. 

Key facts

It is an opportunity not only for students holding a degree in design, marketing and communication, but also for managers and professionals working in the field.

The programme combines a focus on food-related markets with the design approach and methodologies. This creates a food designer who is able to manage the design:

  • of processes, methods and spaces where products are processed, distributed and consumed;
  • of food in terms of its aesthetics, communication and representation;
  • of equipment and tools used to prepare and consume food;
  • of all the communication activities implemented for the promotion of food products.
