Design Department
The Design Department at the Universidad de los Andes is an academic space of excellence, where professionals with leadership potential, creative capacity and innovative activity are trained. Its graduates can critically and flexibly approach the different specialties of design with the ability to lead the addition of value from the creative sector and promote design and the humanization of technology in a multidisciplinary and global context. The training of our designers is based, on the one hand, on the understanding of the human being based on their relationships, behaviors, historical background and cultural diversity and, on the other, on communication skills, the reflective process and the autonomy of its students. The above is articulated in a teaching-learning process in which research is the main resource for the construction of knowledge. This process is led by a qualified teaching team in permanent academic and professional training in various areas of design, capable of coordinating interdisciplinary work groups that ensure a holistic approach to design.
