Human Centered Design Thinking (HCDT) is an innovation method that makes an essential ‘detour’

called EMPATHY to explore the needs of people involved in a problem, or being capable to provide inspiration to solve the problem before jumping to the solution of the problem. During this programme Human Centered Design Thinking will be applied to a local real-life company mission.

The programme has also a strong focus on personal development and soft skills. It aims to stimulate people-centered leadership based on students’ awareness of their personal strengths, morals and unique qualities. It allows students to develop their personal leadership potential and better access their creative potential in their professional and personal life.

Nestled in the heart of Dijon’s historic center, BSB’s beautifully renovated campus offers exceptional quality of life with moderate rents, a scenic urban setting, and easy 10-minute access to the TGV station—all within walking distance of student life hubs.
