Partners and International Relations
The projects developed during the Master Program are realized in collaboration with particularly innovative professional entities operating in the various fields of interior design which have already been working with NABA and with the professionals involved in the Master Program. At the end of the Master, students can apply to spend a study period at one of NABA Partner Universities. Their application will be evaluated and submitted to NABA Partner Institutions provided they are part of a coherent research path.
NABA cooperates with GAFA (Guang Zhou Academy of Fine Arts, China) in defining research scenarios and joint projects on the subject “living in the future”.
