Through the Design in the City approach, learning moves every week into real environments:
– Museums and exhibitions
– Professional studios and events
– Major European design weeks
« We believe that our heritage is a platform for the future. By studying the timeless craftsmanship of Italy, the expressive artistry of Spain, and the avant-garde elegance of France. »

Premium experience. Accessible tuition.
The first year takes place in Rome, a city where design, art and architecture are inseparable from history.
Students are immersed in a cultural environment shaped by centuries of craftsmanship, aesthetics and innovation, studying at a school rooted in Italian design heritage.
This foundation year focuses on discovering design as a living cultural language: understanding European design history, learning fundamental tools and methods, and exploring materials, technologies, sustainability and AI from an introductory level.
The emphasis is on observation, experimentation and clear communication, building a solid base across heritage, method, innovation and vision.
The second year is based in Valencia, a Mediterranean city known for its creative industries, applied design culture and strong connection between design and society.
At a school closely linked to contemporary practice, students move into an advanced level where they decode heritage, master design processes and apply innovation to real contexts. Alongside a shared core curriculum, they choose a specialization in Fashion Design, Communication & Art Direction, or Interior & Product Design.
This year strengthens technical skills, collaborative work, social impact design and advanced AI use, preparing students to operate confidently within complex, real-world design challenges.
Internship between Y2 and Y3
The final year takes place in Paris, a global capital of design, culture and creative leadership. Hosted by a school deeply connected to the international professional landscape, this expert-level year focuses on application, leadership and professional transition.
Students combine advanced coursework with a professional internship and a mentored graduation project, applying cultural knowledge, strategic thinking and innovation in real industry settings.
The year culminates in defining a personal design vision, leading projects, integrating emerging technologies and ethics, and graduating as an autonomous, internationally prepared design professional.
