Highlights

The official Degree in Fashion Design specializing in Creative Direction offers international fashion studies with a unique academic concept, in both Spanish and English. The program trains fashion designers, specializing in the creation and communication of identity and image. Effective communications have become the most crucial element for the dissemination of a fashion company's philosophy and image, be it a brand, publication, store, institution or design fair. New communication formats, such as Fashion Movie on the internet, exist alongside the classic fashion shows, advertising campaigns and special events, requiring fashion professionals who are capable of directing the project creativity in diverse disciplines.

The academics of the first year of the Degree in Fashion Design, specializing in Creative Direction, focus on the acquisition of basic design knowledge (color, drawing), culture (the history of art and design) and project methodology, all of which are essential in establishing the foundations of a competent professional capable of working in any of the different fields of design.

The second year's academics probe further into the technical, cultural and project knowledge essential for students to begin focusing on a specialization of their choice.

The academics of the third and fourth years focus on students' specializations as creative management professionals who are capable of introducing innovations into all phases of fashion company processes. Students' extensive historical knowledge enables their understanding of the current situation of the fashion industry and allows them to formalize new concepts and identities in the development of their professional career, which proves to be extremely effective in the highly competitive international market. The fourth year culminates in a final degree project, which is a reflection of the students' training, and a professional job application letter.

This program has been recognized by the Autonomous Government of Madrid and the Spanish National Government as an official Degree in Fashion Design.
