ELISAVA is the first school of design, an internationally oriented educational and research institution affiliated with Pompeu Fabra University. The school is situated in Barcelona and is home to around 2,200 students and more than 800 teachers. The academic quality at Elisava is demanding, and excellently recognised internationally. We are the first design school in Spain, and we have been innovating for fifty years through a reference educational model that advances with the synergy of five key elements: the interaction of design and engineering, the teaching community, our classes, and a system of Internal Quality Assurance.
