Summer Courses

Our Summer Courses are a fantastic opportunity to learn and to explore the city of Barcelona.

These intensive courses will allow students to build on their knowledge and develop new creative skills under the guidance of professionals in their sector.
 Our courses are divided into different formats and levels to ensure that the learning experience is adapted to all kinds of professional profiles:

 Introductory
Advanced
Professional
Junior

Each course has a duration of 50 to 100 hours that are spread out over 2, 3 or 4 weeks. Lectures will be in the morning or afternoon depending on the course level and format.
The timetable for all courses is from Monday to Friday, either in the mornings (10.00 am to 3.00 pm).

 IED Barcelona’s Summer Courses take place during the month of July and combine academic experience with Barcelona’s cultural and artistic heritage.

We are located in the neighbourhood of Barrio de Gracia, in the multicultural and cosmopolitan heart of Barcelona. Not far from us lie the city’s beaches and sights that attract tourists from all over the world.

ACCOMMODATION (OPTIONAL)
Students on the IED Barcelona Summer Courses are entitled to apply for accommodation when signing up.
The accommodation option allows students to book an individual room with a shared kitchen in one of the best halls of residence in Barcelona.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The advisors from our Information and Guidance Service assess candidates based on their CV or professional portfolio. Candidates will be admitted on their chosen course according to the academic qualifications and professional experience each level requires. The syllabus contains a description of each course’s specific criteria.

COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES
During the Summer Courses, an Art&Design Tour is organised especially for newcomers and also residents wishing to learn more about Barcelona. It is intended to be an introduction to the city’s art and design history, which is a recognised international benchmark with outstanding artistic activity. The ultimate goal is for students to gain an overall knowledge of the city as an ever-changing place while they learn how to get around and discover the resources it has to offer.
