ARTS MANAGEMENT Master Professional Venice - Florence - Rome | February 2012 CULTURE IS an Investment Our focus is on the cultural aspects of new projects, from Design to Architecture, from Communication to Urban “Planning, in order to define and instruct indispensable professions for the development of Italan society. Made in Italy is not simply a description of objects and products, it has roots in history, in artisans workshops from the Renaissance to today, passed down through a specific awarness of the anthropology and culture of the Italian territory. These are the considerations at the base of the new IED project: a Master in Arts Management that utilizes Italy as a resource through three unique cities: Rome, Florence and Venice. IED operates in all three, focusing on handicraft and know-how, elements that cannot be copied nor globalized but that are recognizable worldwide as a cultural and expressive heritage. In order to capitalize on these elements, Italy needs new professional profiles: people that come from a humanities or science background who can see beyond our particular characteristics and translate them into cultural universals. A small community is not only an expression of local identity; it has the potential to become a global experience without betraying its roots and history. This culture of the territory, added to partnerships with institutions such as the MAXXI Museum of Rome, the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi of Florence and the Guggenheim Museum of Venice, is the principal guide along our chosen study path. Beyond mere economics, we will explore the economy of knowledge, as if inspiring new Leonardos, moving effortlessly through science, the visual arts, tradition and culture in search of Leonardo da Vinci’s complete and balanced Vitruvian man. Vinci is not a last name, it is the name of the little town where Leonardo was born in 1452. It is from the Italian territory that we will begin our studies, looking at the future through the past.

Master Courses 2011/2012 | 4 IED MASTERS An experience that matters A IED Master is mainly an experience which allows those who attend it to be absorbed in conceptual and project territories extending far beyond the premises and the rooms in which they are hosted. IED Master courses have a flexible structure in terms of contents and are able to respond more effectively to those who wish to excel both in creativity and management. The Master courses are based on the principles of Italian design: spirit of curiosity and initiative, will of change scenarios thanks to technical skills and creativity. Conceived together with companies, IED Master courses prepare students to face the labour market and to build their own professional identity combining different fields of knowledge. According to the different levels of in-depth examinations, attendance, participants and lenght, IED Master courses are di- vided into: EXPERIENCE STUDY PROGRAMS The Master Experience is a preparatory path, one-year long and full time, providing participants, coming from different back- grounds, with the basic tools to fully understand the Design world: rules, opportunities, synergies between design and other disciplines. The Master Experience allows students to get in touch with many professionals of the Design world and, for those who intend to grow professionally, to proceed in their education with the Professional Study Programs. Candidates can apply for the Master Experience in design, fashion and visual communication. PROFESSIONAL STUDY PROGRAMS The Master Professional provides know-how and tools to be used in professional activities. The Master courses, either full time or part-time based, have three main goals: to provide methodological, technical, cultural and design tools related to the different professions; to develop the ability of applying what has been learned; and to manage the project complexity. Career prospects are focused on companies, design studios, and agencies. In particular, the professional profile could be that of a senior expert with both theoretical and practical significant skills, or of a manager, with a strong multidisciplinary approach, responsible for the development and integration of new products. RESEARCH STUDY PROGRAMS The Master Research aims to give a correct methodology for both basic and applied research. The program intends to en- hance and implement the ability of choosing, according to one’s own attitudes and professional goals, the most suitable edu- cation path and additional subjects, leaving space for experimentation, research and free exploration. ADVANCED STUDY PROGRAMS CFA are short courses with different levels, from specialized training to advanced professional training, delivered either full time or part time. They are particularly appropriate for professionals wishing to develop their skills and to deal with the ever- changing needs of the production context from both a technical and creative perspective.
