Course Text Info

The SAS Brand Design Advanced Specialist is an 8-module program designed for professionals working at the intersection of design, marketing, and management, who wish to acquire a clear methodology to understand, govern, and justify the role of the brand in business.

Modules can be taken individually. Completing all 8 modules, along with the submission of a final work project, grants access to the exam for the SUPSI certification, with the allocation of ECTS credits.

The final work project is not a theoretical exercise but the result of a progressive process: in each module, participants develop documents and make decisions that collectively form a single final project.
Each module includes 1.5 hours of live lessons, supporting documentation, and practical exercises, and provides a certificate of attendance.
