To this end, students are provided with a multicultural and productive learning environment where they can transform theoretical knowledge into practice.

In this context, students develop their original thinking and practical skills to produce innovative designs and actively participate in exhibitions, competitions, and design events.

Our graduates find opportunities to work as art consultants or graphic designers in advertising agencies, graphic design studios, the press and publishing sector, and public or private institutions.
