It’s possible that you are someone who pays attention to your surroundings and appreciates the details. You may be attracted to aesthetics, but also to its applications and the technical, ethical, and communicative approaches behind it. Perhaps you are also interested in matters related to history in general, and art and objects in particular.
Edi prepares you to become a specialist in the codes of the specialty you choose, but always from a cross-disciplinary perspective, because design branches out and intersects with many paths—other specialisms—that address the needs of the society we live in.
Your time at Edi provides a broad perspective of the design landscape in Spain in relation to culture, history, and its development in various geographical areas, with a focus on Europe and the USA.
The environment at Edi is open and tolerant, demanding in terms of academic standards, but flexible in its approaches.
Edi is here to accompany you on your journey, to discover, and to be the mentor for your best qualities.
