Welcome from the Dean

At ELISAVA, centre affiliated with Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), you will find a wide formative offer addressed to all those people interested in creation, innovation, and technology who envision new ways of understanding and facing nowadays and tomorrow’s society challenges. People like you, who are willing to develop and transform ideas into realities.

At our recently remodelled facilities, located in Barcelona’s city centre –a town devoted to design and creativity-, around 2,200 students from all over the world enjoy ELISAVA’s Project -which in addition to its formative offer also includes a cultural programme featuring prestigious professionals from the international scene.

You will find over 870 specialists in the fields of design, engineering and communication who will help you throughout your training as a future professional by providing their energy, criterion and thorough knowledge.

ELISAVA has been promoting the bond between design and engineering in an internationally projected continuous training process for over half a century. Our methodology provides the students with the knowledge needed for developing the creative process, as well as for making viable the technological implementation of projects. We achieve this by taking into consideration the current global scene, betting on outward projection through the establishment of exchanges with other international universities and through the partnerships agreed with foreign companies and institutions.

Our Graduates’ high labour market insertion rate corroborates the expertise and correctness of our project, which guarantees the link between a continuous training platform and an economic sector related to design and innovation.

I do invite you to be part and parcel of ELISAVA’s project and be thrilled by the best of Barcelona’s Projects in Design and Engineering. We would be really glad of having you aboard. What kept you so long?!
