The Bachelor of Industrial Design is a pioneering program that has helped our students win significant national and international prizes for their packaging and furniture designs. Our curriculum shortens the learning curve by offering very precise and concentrated courses. This might explain why 70 percent of our students land jobs before graduating and the remainder with three months of graduating.

Starting in 2012, the most brilliant, progressive, and creative art students will have the opportunity of training in the new Roberto Garza Sada Center (CRGS), a space devoted to creative ideas and artistic expression, which will gather and develop the best creative talent in Latin America.
