Master of Arts in Creative Direction
A special edition of US-based BusinessWeek magazine from October 2007 named the 60 top international training programs for designers. The decisive criteria included innovation, interdisciplinary focus and future orientation. The stated goal was to recognize schools that have embraced the idea of moving beyond design ability to train students as executives and strategists. These skills equip students to react to the clearly growing demand for such creative managers by companies and non-profits.
The Master of Arts in Creative Direction offered at the Design School at Hochschule Pforzheim University is ranked by BusinessWeek alongside the likes of Harvard, Stanford and MIT as one of the world's best design training centers.
