Escuela Universitaria de Diseño e Ingeniería de Barcelona - ELISAVA (reviews)

In summary: They have little concern about teaching design, it’s all about pretentious artistic conceptual nonsense that maybe looks cool but won’t get you anywhere outside of the bubble they have created.

Most of the colleagues that graduated are doing something completely different of what they have been taught there.

About 65% of the curriculum is just filler or some stuff that will look great in their advertising.

Really have to give them props as a business, as a university unfortunately not so much…

I really don’t like this experience.
If you don’t have a background in design it’s very difficult to participate in projects in Group B ( the one in which you can choose subjects)

I have been selected for that group and for all the course I felt useless and unmotivated, because I didn’t know how to move in that projects and no one helped me.

The lessons lasts usually 3 hours, in which the teacher go around the desk and helps you only 20 minutes for lesson.

It’s a waste of money.
I learned nothing.

Elisava is a great school to learn ways to convert ideas into reality. It shows a wide range of skills such as conceptualization, materials, referents… The best thing is the possibility to be in touch and work with people from other fields. Mixing up product, space, graphic and motion design.

The way the Departments treat the students are notable and the situation of the University in one of the most important and old part of the city, as well the projects are interesting, we capture all the essence and bring with as a lugagge of experiences
