About the course

Surface design is an area of design that projects two- and three-dimensional textures for different surfaces. The course is designed to qualify professionals of this field using structures that provide them with an aesthetic, scientific, and technological update, supporting the development of projects both in the graphic and product areas, fomenting research, and creating new functional, artistic, and industrial solutions.

Professionals who work in design and education will get updated on contemporary issues related to research, creation, and development of projects to establish the quality of the surfaces of different physical (textiles, ceramics, stationery, coatings, etc.) and electronic (web, games, etc.) products. There will be technology available to support project and production activities.
