Our Educational Model

At CEDIM we prepare creative strategists to think with a focus on innovation and business. Our curriculum is methodically designed so that our students are able to develop different strategies to undertake projects with business opportunities that, in turn, provide solutions to the problems of our society.

We have a unique educational model called “Atelier”, different from other universities in Mexico, which guides the student step by step in order to develop a semester project based on the methodology of Design Thinking and Human Centered Design.
