Methodology and objectives
With more than two decades of experience and four campuses in Italy, LABA’s methodology has a uniquely practical approach aimed at the job market, encouraging students to develop artistic experimentation habits. This methodology is based on learning by doing and design thinking processes, combining in-person classes, online learning, workshops, and masterclasses led by pioneering artists and institutions. Your educational experience at LABA will also include internships in companies with highly renowned professionals.
Other aspects worth highlighting are:
- Small classes, with a maximum of 18 students per group
- Internships in national and international companies
- Lessons taught in Spanish and English
The objective of the BACHELOR OF ARTS (HONS) in Digital and Multimedia Design is to enhance a student’s artistic and technical ability to tackle the projects that our current professional environment is involved in, and to promote a multidisciplinary, innovative and international profile, as well as fostering an entrepreneurial spirit.
The first year
focuses on basic digital design concepts, communication theory, project methodology, cutting-edge digital tools for UI design, prototyping, as well as photo, video, and sound editing. Students also devise an individual project over the course of the academic year and attend workshops and masterclasses taught by leading experts in these fields. These professionals help students explore the different careers offered by the creative industries sector.
In the second year,
students acquire in-depth and advanced knowledge of the main techniques and software, including knowledge of web and app development, art direction, 3D modelling, animation, and special effects. Students analyze the most important digital design and mixed media trends and also learn about the methods used to manage and develop team projects.
Students will develop a collaborative project where they will have to combine all the knowledge acquired throughout the course.
You can enrich your training with multiple workshops and complementary subjects such as advertising, branding and digital marketing, advanced infographics, cross-platform programming, etc.
The third year
focuses on preparing the student for employment and professional development, through internships in companies, preparing the final year project and acquiring the required knowledge and skills for learning, such as the ability to create and finance a startup or the ability to handle academic work while leading international creative companies.
Students can participate in the ‘’LABAPP’’ competition once they complete their final year project. The best individual/team project will obtain the necessary support and funds for the project to become a reality, transforming the prototype into a real app that is ready to enter the market.
