Institute of European Design - IED Speciality : Art & Design
programme: Fashion

Very good school to do a master degree. There are international students from all over the world. We’re a lot of latin americans but there’s also europeans, and asians.
So far I’ve only been here for a week, so all I can tell so far is how the process of being accepted in the school and the welcoming have been.

First of all, I got a scholarship I won a contest and I got a 100% scholarship, I still had to pay “matriculación” but I saved 9,000 euros with this scholarship and that’s a big help. Right after I won the contest I started receiving emails with every single step I was supposed to follow. They sent me my acceptance letter and I was able to start with the visa paperwork. (probably I’ll explain this in some other review)

The first day of school everyone was really welcoming. We had a nice talk with many teachers at the conference room, we had some activities and we had a little snack break. The second day we had a conference with an interesting company working on the things we could do once we graduate. Then we had a (non- alcoholic) toast. Teachers are super welcoming, super nice and are there to help.

I had some problems with my school email which they solved immediately, I had no idea of what I had to do regarding papers and not being an illegal in Spain and they helped me with this too. They have psychological help for free, which I think is awesome because sometimes moving to a new city on your own can be hard.

So far I can say I love IED Barcelona
