STUDYING SDE Our particular case: Service Design and Engineering Master

Programme

A mix between technology - science - future development and entrepreneurial spirit - business analysis and improvement

- venture management - SERVICE design

Different Courses Different Approaches

• Frontal Lectures (the most common way)

• Seminars: lots of entrepreneurial or professional figures from different realities

• Visiting Lecturers: thinking out of the box, discovering what can be known from different experiences

...AND NOT ONLY THAT!Different methods of teaching …

These can be translated in

a more active student

participation to academy

activities and courses!

(projects, stages, internship...)

PAST EXPERIENCE University of Trento, Bachelor degree in Engineering of IT and

Projects or interesting seminars

The only external contacts during the stage / thesis

CONCLUSION: interesting but nothing special

Metropolia University of Applied Sciences
