The Postgraduate Degree in Digital Product Innovation aims to prepare students to successfully lead the development, launch and management of innovative digital products, focusing on the creation of economic, social and environmental value. This programme is structured so that students can achieve notable results, whether in their own entrepreneurship initiatives, participating in growing startups or collaborating with large technology companies.
The course learning goals include empowering students to understand and apply user-centered co-creation methodologies such as Design Thinking, Design Sprint and Lean Product Design. Students are expected to be able to identify real market problems, discover customers and analyze the competition, leading to the exploration and experimentation of different ideas until the definition, iterative prototyping and evaluation of a digital product. Furthermore, students will learn how to design effective marketing strategies for launching products on the market and how to lead development teams.
The Postgraduate course is a comprehensive journey that covers five main content areas. "Digital Transformation Management" is a deep dive into the integration of digital technologies in companies, offering a unique methodology to manage this process. "Digital Product Development" is a hands-on course that teaches students how to turn ideas into impactful products. In "User-Centered Digital Prototyping", students will master the art of designing and creating prototypes that meet user needs, using the latest technologies. “Programming for Data Analysis” equips students with the skills to program and analyze data, including generative AI, to drive innovation. Lastly, "Digital Product Innovation” is a platform that encourages entrepreneurship and the creation of sustainable digital products.
The course structure was meticulously crafted, considering the high-quality standards of Distance Learning. It's designed to provide students with the utmost flexibility in the teaching-learning process, empowering them to manage their learning time effectively regardless of their geographical location or professional context.
