Master’s Degree in Craftsmanship, Design, and Sustainable Ceramic Production

The Master’s in Craftsmanship, Design and Sustainable Ceramic Production is designed to train professionals capable of developing innovative ceramic products that integrate sustainability, functionality and aesthetics. The programme structure combines theory, technique and practice, allowing students to approach projects from a comprehensive, contemporary perspective.

In Module I, the foundations of eco-design, project communication and sustainable marketing strategies are addressed, complemented by the development of artisanal and industrial ceramic projects. Module II focuses on ceramic materials and printing processes, while Module III explores advanced technologies such as 3D printing and numerical-control milling.

To access official master’s degree programmes, applicants must hold an official Higher Diploma in Artistic Studies, an official Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent issued by an institution of the European Higher Education Area that, in the issuing country, grants access to master’s studies. Graduates from education systems outside the European Higher Education Area may also gain access without needing to have their qualifications officially recognised (homologación), subject to verification by the competent educational authority that those qualifications certify an equivalent level of training. Access by this route shall not, under any circumstances, imply the official recognition (homologación) of the applicant’s previous qualification, nor its recognition for any purpose other than that of undertaking the master’s artistic studies.

External internships are a training activity carried out by students and supervised by a tutor from the company or institution where they take place and by an academic tutor from the Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny de València. Their main aim is to allow students to apply and complement the knowledge acquired during their academic training while, at the same time, developing the competences that prepare them for professional activity, facilitate their employment and foster their entrepreneurial capacity.

There are two types of internships: curricular and extracurricular. Curricular internships are academic activities integrated into the Master’s curriculum, corresponding to a compulsory subject of 10 ECTS credits. Extracurricular internships, on the other hand, are those that students may undertake voluntarily during their training period and which, although having the same aims as curricular internships, are not part of the curriculum.

At the Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny de València, we firmly believe in the importance of offering our students enriching and transformative experiences. Through the Erasmus programme, our students have the opportunity to live a unique experience abroad, immersing themselves in new cultures, broadening their academic and personal horizons, and developing intercultural skills that are very useful for their future.

To train professionals with specific preparation, able to embrace the dynamic changes that —across different scenarios: economic, environmental, political, cultural and ecological— have accelerated and emerged ever more rapidly and powerfully in recent years, transforming not only the reality of the current business management model but also social reality.
