One of the most exciting aspects of your Domus Academy experience is that you can join innovative design projects with leading international and Italian companies.
Every Master’s programmes features four workshops, plus a professional experience module, where you can apply the techniques that you’ve learnt in class to real-worldbusiness projects.
This is what it means to “learn by designing” – it is a revolutionary approach that Domus Academy has cultivated over decades of partnering with leading brands in design, fashion, business, and architecture.
To date, our students have worked with countless companies, making industry connections that have helped launch their design careers. This is one of the reasons why 96% of our graduates are employed one year after graduation, according to 2023 survey conducted by BVA Doxa.

In every four-to-five-week workshop, you can work on challenging briefs presented by a leading brand, studio, or consultancy firm. Each workshop includes:
- The launch. A company representative or Domus Academy project leader launches a creative brief.
- The intermediate review. Company/design studio representatives review your project halfway through the session and offer guidance on your approach.
- The final presentation. Once you have completed your project, you can present it to faculty and to company/design studio representatives and get feedback on your ideas and performance.
