The Undergraduate Degree in Interior Design (240 ECTS) offers an educational path that teaches students to plan internal spaces, which respond to the physical and functional features of spaces surrounding an individual. To do so, there’s a study of analysis on functional and ergonomic needs, and emotional needs: to feel protected and safe though the space.
At the same time, communicational aspects take relevance, both in spatial and motion graphics, bearing in mind the mobility of the final user in the designed space. This activity blends creative contribution with research on new trends, usage of new materials and technological applications, always respecting the environment.
This Master mixes up conventional and up-to-date learning materials and methods with an interdisciplinary vision that means interaction with design topics, arts, lifestyle and fashion, to really create a different and valuable point of view. Classes are combined with seminars, conferences and workshops held by international and world famous specialists. Visits to local realities and the participation to events of the industry are included in the study plan to show students the best practices of institutions, companies and brands related to tourism, food and wine.
The IED Diploma in Business Design offers an educational path that teaches students how to develop skills in writing and articulation, communication and presentations, negotiations and sale, self-awareness and impact, as well as capacity for collaboration.

IED Diploma in Creative Advertising and Branding gives students an exciting opportunity to develop themselves in a very creative, practical, studio-like and interdisciplinary approach, together with teachers who are all practitioners, real companies and agencies during their course. This is the perfect environment to develop a clear communication methodology and create a mature portfolio to successfully enter the creative industries.
The methodology is based on “learning by doing” and fosters interdisciplinarity between the areas of design, fashion, visual communication and management for creative industries through the annual “workshop week” (open to all students) and yearly projects, as well as the opportunity to work interdisciplinarily on the thesis project. The program provides a structured core curriculum, providing incremental learning goals to the students throughout the three years, leading to the thesis or major project.
Observation, analysis and experimentation are an essential part of learning. The course proposes intense theoretical/practical immersion in the urban context of the city of Barcelona, which is why both its theoretical classes and projects are backed by outings led by the teachers of the Master’s degree.
The course proposes five interrelated lines of action that are structured upon various types of subjects.
These lines of action are: THINKING, DOING, PROJECTING, LISTENING and COMMUNICATING.
