ELISAVA is committed to delivering
high-quality education that is in line with
European Union criteria.
The European Space for Higher Education is going through significant changes as part of meeting its goals of achieving convergence across European university courses. Within this setting, our aim is to improve mobility and the internationalisation of design education.
ELISAVA is offering new degrees in Design, Engineering Building and Engineering in Industrial Design. These courses meet new EU criteria in two main areas: the methodology used in teaching and the way studies are organised more flexible, multidisciplinary and transversal. These are factors that have always served to differentiate ELISAVA, and are now viewed as means of responding to the new needs of our society.
From now on the courses offered by ELISAVA will bear an official title, automatic recognition by the profession within the European Union, and provide direct access to postgraduate studies, master's and PhD degrees.
In order to ensure the quality of the School’s skills we also monitor the accomplishment of different quality levels with the aim of improving the different courses wherever necessary.
