In addition to the Lazaridis EMTM’s unique curriculum design, our program distinguishes itself by providing a week-long residency in the Silicon Valley, California. Your tuition covers your meals, accommodations and airfare to and from San Francisco for five days in February.

You will attend classes at two of the most prestigious universities in the United States – UC Berkeley and Stanford University. Instruction will be delivered by some of the world’s top academics in the fields of:

• Design and Systems Thinking
• Design Insights
• Systems Mapping and Idea Generation
• Business Model Generation
• Storytelling for the User Experience

Visit the World's Leading Tech Companies

Beyond the campuses of Berkeley and Stanford, you will also be learning at several on-site locations throughout the Silicon Valley. These visits will be your opportunity to engage with some of the top people in the tech community and learn first-hand about the solutions being embraced by some of the world’s leading companies.

While the companies and locations we visit are updated for each residency, previous out-of-class destinations have included:

• Google
• Ford Greenfield Labs
• Autodesk
• Bay Area Rapid Transit
• Stanford d.school
