After fourteen years of sustained effort, and growth, finally, the Marbella Design Academy is getting the recognition it deserves as an officially recognized state educational institution - and the one and only international design school in Spain. . ![]() Rome was not built in a day, and likewise, the Academy was founded back in 1995. The Marbella Design Academy obtained permission to apply for State Recognition back in April 2003. Now, with 14 years experience, with excellent academic results and a state-of-the-art, purpose-built college building, the Marbella Design Academy has put in the time, dedication and results to gain full respectability in the industry. Located just a 10 minute drive from Marbella, the Marbella Design Academy-Costa del Sol is located in the village of Monda 15km from Marbella. A prerequsite of the state recognition was the design academy building. Finished just a year ago, the result is a stunning building equipped with all the facilities for a modern design academy. The Courses Fashion, graphic design, websites, interiors, film & TV, whatever your creative passion, with a variety of courses on offer, the Marbella Design Academy can accommodate you. With a team of highly-qualified, dynamic teachers with a passion for design, the academy offers a high standard of teaching.
Taught in English to a wide variety of students of different nationalities, the Courses are at University level: Interior Design 3 years; Interior Design with furniture/product Design – 3 years; Fashion Design- 2 years; Graphic Design – 3 years; Digital Film and Television Production – 3 years, Web Design 1 year plus Summer Courses and Short Courses. The Marbella Design Academy prides itself on keeping up-to-date with market trends and demands, and preparing students with the necessary skills to walk out of their courses and into employment in their chosen field. All the key computer programs for design are incorporated into the curriculum from the first year of study. This is one of the reasons for the high employment rate (near 100%) among the graduates. It is rare for recently graduated students to deliver projects at such a high professional standard as the graduated students at the Academy. Examples of their creativity and competence can be viewed on the Marbella Design Academy website, along with a video of the new building and facilities on offer. With all this, and the enviable lifestyle and climate too, no wonder students from around the globe are flocking to study here. With most students living in the idyllic white village of Monda and taking just a five minute walk to college, the Marbella Design academy offers a truly privileged environment in which to develop and hone your creativity. Student admission is twice a year; 15th September and 7th of January. For More information visit: www.designschool.com |
