We think of the School as a hub of connections and, therefore, we foster and strengthen relationships and collaborations with the business and institutional fabric, the design and engineering professionals and our alumni.
These collaborations can have different formats, although to a large extent they are developed as part of the academic activity of the School. Thus, from your entry to the University and during the four years of the Degree, you will have the opportunity to participate in academic projects, workshops and other activities carried out in collaboration with leading companies and institutions:
1. Collaborations in subjects
During the four years, you will participate in multiple workshops and projects with companies and institutions as part of some subjects.
2. Innovation Labs
Frequently, companies and institutions come to Elisava to help them develop a specific project. When this happens, we create teams with multidisciplinary profiles that work to obtain the best result.
You can sign up for these projects voluntarily and they will allow you to expand and complement your knowledge and skills through the development of real projects in which you will work side by side with active professionals.
3. Master class and workshops
At Elisava we like to rebrand ourselves by constantly evolving. With this in mind, we invite professionals from different sectors and areas to speak about their professional activity, their projects and their work methodologies, so that you can get the most out of your knowledge and complement your academic training.
4. Curricular and extracurricular internships
From the 3rd course (or when you have 120 ECTS credits), you will be able to take curricular and/or extracurricular internships in the best companies of the sector so that you can enter the labour market with all the necessary knowledge and resources. The syllabus contain 12 ECTS of specific subjects for the realization of the curricular practices. These practices are carried out during the 2nd term of the 4th year and are linked to the mention (optional subjects) that you have chosen.
