Bachelor in Design Create a better reality

If you choose to study the Bachelor in Design, then you will study the first two years in Segovia and the last two years in Madrid.

A PROGRAM THAT GOES BEYOND TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE

Management and visual and verbal communication skills are essential for the contemporary architect. You will learn how to define strategies, organize projects, lead teams, and communicate your vision to others. These skills, combined with a design approach, will make you stand out as a well-rounded architect capable of creating innovative environments.

IN COLLABORATION WITH TOP STUDIOS WORLDWIDE

Combining classroom learning with a real-world work environment is one of the goals of the internship program. Students have the chance to interact and learn straight from influential professionals from top studios in the field during the second semester of years 2, 3, and 4. Destinations throughout the world include not only architecture and design firms, but also magazines, museums, and NGOs.

IDEAL ENVIRONMENTS TO COLLABORATE AND EXPERIMENT

Spaces are essential in order to stimulate learning. Our open Design Studios replicate the working environment of a firm or agency. The Fabrication Laboratory, or “Fab Lab,” is a fundamental part of what we call the culture of making. It’s a space where students experiment with digital and traditional woodworking tools to truly understand how things are built. There are two parts to the Fab Lab: one which uses digital tools (CNC router, laser cutters, 3D printers) and the other which uses more traditional carpentry and shop tools, allowing students to “think with their hands.”

AN ENGAGED AND ALTERNATIVE APPROACH

The Bachelor in Architectural Studies takes an integrated approach to learning. Our faculty is made up of architects, visual artists, designers, and engineers. They bring different perspectives to your studies and help enrich your understanding and expressive abilities.
In the last year of the course, you will experiment in areas beyond architecture and design. “Alternative Practices” is a series of courses that will enrich your perspective: “The City, Landscape, and Environment,” “Management and Entrepreneurship,” and “Design and Digital Studies.”
