Continuous technological evolution and new media have created an enormous field of action for the graphic designer. We live in a society with a great demand and consumption of graphic and visual communication, so if you want to be part of this world, studying Graphic Design is the best option.
In Andalusia, the studies of Graphic Design have not been officially regulated until recent times. This programme is conceived to train professionals capable of devising new forms of communication thus transmitting ideas and values through the visual language.
At ESADA you can study the Official Degree of Graphic Design, this is a degree from the Ministry of Education equivalent to all effects to a University Degree. These studies are within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and therefore have international validity.
Our innovative methodology of Project-Based Learning (PBL) aims to bring professionals with a critical and analytical mindset, capable of developing a project from beginning to end, work in a team in a fluid way and to defend their ideas and their creations through the exhibition of their proposals. We offer a meaningful learning process; therefore, our students are able to manage their knowledge autonomously and professionally. Integrated projects are a fundamental tool because it gathers all subjects in a common purpose.
All projects have been designed so that the students acquire progressively all the necessary skills to be amazing graphic designer.
We complement our teaching at ESADA with conferences of professionals of recognized prestige in the sector and representative bodies of the cultural and mercantile sector that bring us closer to the real world of the design.
Graphic Design offers us in each project the opportunity to do something new, to define identities, to transmit sensations through colour, form or typography... to communicate an idea, a thought or a feeling
