We offer 3-year Bachelor Degree (BA Hons) programmes in Interior Architecture, Graphic Design & Fashion Design. The BA degree titles students are awarded after graduation from the Marbella Design Academy are awarded by the University of Bedfordshire, UK, and state recognised in the UK.

State-recognised Design School:
Marbella Design Academy is state-recognised by the Ministry of Education - Junta de Andalucia in Spain - the only international design school in Spain to achieve this recognition.

This means that the school, its tutors and the education offered are quality-controlled by the Ministry of Education in Spain.

This is a great opportunity for students interested in these design disciplines to study in English in sunny Spain, at a lower cost than in the UK. Special needs students (individuals with a physical disability) are also welcome to apply.
