 Location: From August 2008 we will be
based at our new building in Monda, which is a
charming, typically Spanish village only 15 km
from Marbella. The academy is only 3 min walk
from the town centre. Monda has many cosy
restaurants and bars. It is surrounded by the
beautiful Spanish countryside. There are
frequent buses to the centre of Marbella, a
lively, picturesque, cosmopolitan city. Marbella
is very well known for its nightlife, beautiful
beaches and mountains. We have a school bus
service to and from the academy ( Marbella -
Monda ). Public transport is also available from
Monda to nearby cities and villages.
Compared to most European cities Marbella is
relatively inexpensive. For example, you can buy
a meal at a nice restaurant for around 7€, tapas
are even cheaper. Southern Spain has the best
weather in Europe with more than 330 warm and
sunny days a year. Andalucia is the home of many
famous artists including Picasso.
Accommodation: Students mainly live in rented apartments in Marbella or Monda, where it is very easy to rent a furnished accommodation. They are available at all price levels.
It is cheaper to find accommodation in Monda. We recommend that all new students should consider settling down in Monda, where you can rent a 4 to 5 bedroom fully furnished house in the village
for only 400 to 600€ a month. Alternatively, for instance you can rent a “Finca” which is a country style house for around 600€ a month on a 3.000m2 plot with orange, almonds and olive trees.
Grants: Many student grant departments in
Europe have approved our University degree level
courses and the State Recognised programmes that
the Marbella Design Academy follows. Students
from most European countries can therefore
obtain grants to study at our academy. Please
check with the student grants office in your
home country.
 Exhibition: Each year we hold an
exhibition that showcases the students work held
at a prime location in central Marbella. This
year our exhibition will be held on the 12th,
13th, 14th and 15th of June 2008.
Our previous exhibitions have been a great
success. The student’s work is judged by the
press and media as well as by industry
professionals. The standard of our students work
is extremely high and they are often headhunted
by these companies. Normally, we achieve a 95%
employment rate for our students upon
graduation.
