Post 5: Changes to my study programme

Design is a very broad, charming and versatile career; it is constantly updated thanks to research in favor of the discipline. For this reason, the curriculum has undergone many changes. For example, the incorporation of the comprehensive mention in the new current curriculum.

I am sure that the covid 19 will bring with it other changes and new looks of design and for Design.

Currently, our curriculum consists of 3 learning phases: interpreting, intervening, and transforming. Each of them is different stages.

In the first, we understand what design is and if it exists in a whole and in everything, acquiring references.

In the second we learn different techniques on how to treat the collected material.

In the third we learn to reinterpret and transform what is known, generating more design with our own gaze, and prioritizing the needs of our users.

The academic load usually feels very exhausting, especially at the end of the semester when we must present and argue our project decisions and that is why we are always happy when the break weeks arrive.

On the other hand, with respect to the faculty facilities, although they are beneficial, they remain basic and not ideal for the optimal development of our learning. However, I understand that being declared a national heritage we must also appreciate it. Furthermore, we would not be FAU designers without its peculiar characteristics.
