Everything is focused on real-world teaching, we meet with clients, we interview them, learning what they want and apply it to our design before we present it to them at the end of the project.

I like the teaching method as it is very practical and you learn by working on your own projects. I enjoyed all the site visits and learned a lot from them. I also appreciated very much the high-level clients that we got the opportunity to meet and work for.
