Welcome to the new students of LABA VALENCIA 2026

We are delighted to welcome you to LABA Valencia. As of today, you are part of an ever-growing creative community. A year full of learning, new friendships and challenges awaits you, ones that will help you grow both personally and professionally.

LABA Valencia is a space where the exchange of ideas, collaboration and committed work are fundamental. We encourage you to connect with your classmates, to get involved in projects, to take risks with your proposals, and to find your voice in disciplines such as graphic and digital design, photography, video, 3D animation, motion graphics, brand design, interactivity or creative coding.

Make the most of every opportunity the school offers you: resources, teachers, activities, experiences… This year will undoubtedly be a key stage in your creative and professional future.

Welcome, we wish you a great start to the academic year!

The new international students are here, telling us how their first days have been:

“I was really excited to meet lots of people, especially other international students, and to be part of that exchange. At first I was a bit nervous because I didn’t know anyone, but I felt welcome straight away. It was amazing to see so many volunteers ready to share their experience, guide us and answer our questions. We were arriving in a foreign country, with a new language and surroundings we weren’t used to, and they made us feel like part of one big family. Seeing each other every day, in class and socially, and sharing our stories, meant I never felt alone. Now I’m really looking forward to starting classes, meeting the teachers and working on projects this semester.”
