This Global Design Junior Summer Course in English opens the doors to the wonderful world of design and invites you to take your first step developing projects in a variety of fields that may be where your true passion lies. 

You’ll develop a total design proposal for the four fundamental areas of design: Fashion, Product, Interior and Graphic design.

It’s a practical course that gives you hands-on experience, based on the premise that a designer learns by designing. You’ll acquire a cross-disciplinary vision, giving free rein to your imagination as you develop your own creative skills.

This programme is taught at IED Madrid Gran Vía - Palacio de Altamira.
