Design
UFSC Design program was created in 1999 and is considered today one of the best Design degrees in the country. The program has achieved grade 4 at the ENADE (the national examination of students’ performance) and was also ranked 4 stars by the Editora Abril, a Brazilian publishing house, in 2017.
The program follows an organizational structure that allows flexibility among the different areas of Graphic Design. In this structure, students can plan their own study paths according to their skills and abilities – which are often revealed during the course of their studies. The Design Project modules are responsible for guiding their academic pathway.
For degree completion, students must take: all first-year introductory courses; all general required courses, along with the project modules and their parallel prerequisites; the minimum hours of elective courses (180 class hours); the required internship component; and the inclusive courses, including those of the final project (PCC). The student can seek advice from their supervisor or from the program coordinator on the best path to complete the program.
The program’s infrastructure includes workshop rooms, computer laboratories, drawing/design rooms, and theoretical classrooms. There are also seven research centers, which allow students to delve deeper into their topics of interest.
