Teaching color: the Master in Color Design & Technology

At the end of March, thirteen students, coming from all around the world (Italy, Australia, Germany, Egypt, Lebanon, Colombia), concluded the first edition of the Master in Color Design & Technology. The Master, organized by Politecnico di Milano and Università degli Studi di Milano, aims to provide in-depth training in the complex field of color design and technology, to form professionals able to use color in creative and industrial processes and in numerous application domains. The program is organized in two separate learning phases. Four teaching modules compose the first theoretical phase, while the second part of the master consists of five project works, referred to typical color design scenarios. At the end of all the modules, students are called for an internship in one of the companies or research centers related to the master. The hosting companies operate in various sectors: chemistry, fashion, product design, and measurement instrumentation as demonstration that color has a multidisciplinary nature and many different applications.
