“What I value most about my experience at Elisava is its teaching staff. We recently had the opportunity to show our latest project Humans of Mars at the CCCB in Barcelona. The result was spectacular, partly thanks to the teachers. As students, we ended up with a very broad portfolio full of very diverse projects”

Clara Quinquilla, HP

“During this master’s degree we have gone on several field trips to visit different companies and on a field trip to China, where we met different leading companies in the manufacture of new technologies. We have also attended various workshops, including one with researchers from MIT”

Javier Núñez, MATGroup

“This master’s degree was an eye-opening experience, as the level and demands of the professors were very high and allowed me to get the best out of myself. For example, we did the ‘Humans of Mars’ project with the CCCB, which taught us a lot about industrial design engineering and what it should be in the future”
