The curriculum of CY School of Design is fundamentally multidisciplinary.
Within the framework of a project-based pedagogy, its "Design Mix" is built on the following 7 pillars:
-
Culture/ Thinking / Writing
-
Representing
-
Observing / Analyzing / Understanding
-
Creating / Solving / Collaborating
-
Doing / Experiencing / Feeling
-
Understanding human organizations
-
Becoming a professional
Training global designers
It is no longer the time to train vertical specialists, but global designers, capable of positioning themselves on the continuum from material to decision, and ready to join their very diverse talents for the benefit of projects that are always bigger than they are.
There is therefore no specialization at CY School of Design, and the school trains designers who are capable of both participating in decision-making and concretizing the systems and products they induce: thinkers as much as doers, readers as much as transformers of the world, capable of abstraction as much as concretization.
We make this positioning all the more readable as all projects are motivated by the 17 UNO sustainable development goals.
