Escuela de Arte y Superior de Diseño de Cádiz
Higher education centre in Cadiz, Spain
The Escuela de Arte y Superior de Diseño de Cádiz, known on its own site as the Escuela de Arte de Cádiz, is a public school of art and design in Cádiz, Andalusia, located on Avenida de las Cortes. It traces its origins to the Escuela de Nobles Artes de Cádiz, officially inaugurated on 27 March 1789. Alongside the Bachillerato in Arts and advanced vocational cycles (Ciclos Formativos de Grado Superior) in fields such as furniture, ceramics, advertising graphics, illustration and fashion styling, it offers higher arts education (Enseñanzas Artísticas Superiores) in Fashion Design.
The Fashion Design programme lasts four academic years, with classes from 8:00 to 14:30, and leads to an official qualification in Enseñanzas Artísticas Superiores de Diseño de Moda. The school describes it as comparable to a university bachelor's degree (grado), giving access to postgraduate, master's and doctoral studies. It includes company internships through agreements with fashion firms, company visits, trips to fashion fairs and interdisciplinary projects with other design specialities.
Students can take part in Erasmus+ exchanges with partner design schools in Europe or do traineeships with European companies, and the school also receives incoming Erasmus+ students. Admission to the higher studies is through a specific entrance test (prueba específica).
