The Foundation Course in Design takes students on a journey through the main design disciplines. It is a foundation course that is aimed at people who want to begin their studies in the areas of product design, interior design, graphic design or fashion design. All artistic, plastic, conceptual, technical and project facets are covered over the year through subjects and workshops that encompass all the fundamental areas for an introduction to the professional practice of design and project culture.
This course has a blended theoretical/practical structure offering a project core around which the other fundamental subjects for the creative exercise follow. This methodology allows applied learning, “learning by designing”, the DNA of our Total Designers.
In addition, each workshop, on each one of the design disciplines, is led by leading working professionals who guide our students through the different creative processes involved in a design project in a much more realistic manner.
In one academic year, you will learn the necessary and fundamental tools for design from the multidisciplinary perspective of a “Total Designer”. Conceiving, building and communicating are the three important aspects of this course, which covers every artistic, conceptual, technical and project aspect.

The teaching methodology used on the course is mainly practical. The theoretical contents are acquired in an applied manner, with priority given to the dynamic of experimentation and active participation. Accordingly, in parallel with theory and technique, the course involves experimental and design workshops.
The course is divided into major didactic blocks that train students in the basic design tools while they learn about and come into contact with the four fundamental fields: product, fashion, interior and graphic design.
