“Through dynamic presentations and lectures with industry experts, applicants will be able to develop their own projects, guided by professionals who will be sharing feedback on project assignments and a final capstone.”
The modules will feature live sessions from experts and faculty leaders on different topics, like decoding consumer culture, the future of design, product directions, and culture and lifestyle.
Included in the curriculum are 40 additional on-demand videos, eight PDF documents, The Futurist Workbook, and the Preview Seasons 2024 Masterclass with downloadable PDF.
Sign-up is available now online, with the course priced at €400, or approximately $448 at current exchange rates.
