Hear it from them
The Master’s Degree in Architecture and Design Business Management is great because it combines two very important aspects of the field that are generally difficult to find on the same course. It teaches you about business as well as design and architecture. Personally, I feel that it has greatly influenced how I think, how I approach the projects I work on as part of my career, and thanks to the subjects on coaching and leadership, I have discovered a new field in which I continue to expand my knowledge and skills. I highly recommend this Master’s degree as it can be adapted to suit a wide range of personal and professional profiles, which means anyone has a lot to gain from the subjects it offers.
Being part of this Master’s degree has allowed me to not only build meaningful connections with numerous international professionals, but also to open countless doors in a place as outstanding in the field of architecture and design as Barcelona.
