Students come from all over the world to study at the Marbella Design Academy. They all share the same dream to become professional Fashion Designers. To reach this goal, the students have to possess a flair and passion for Fashion, be self-motivated and be ready to study and work hard.

After graduation, the possibilities are endless. The students can be employed or self-employed, work from home and even build a Fashion Empire. It is up to the individual student to embrace this opportunity.
The students are stimulated to think BIG, that everything is possible. Only the student's imagination creates the limit.
It is important that students learn how to be disciplined and how to meet the marked demands. It takes it all to get there – 100% dedication.
Students quickly learn that it is all a matter of how much passion you put into the subject. The more passion put into their work will give more fun and success to the student in return, which in reality counts for everything in life.

The Marbella Design Academy offers students tuition in all the subjects needed to succeed within the industry. Please see the Study Plan.

The Fashion Designers of today are not only creating clothing, they are in fact creating a life style.

The Marbella Design Academy is following the State Recognised, two year programme in Fashion Design from the Ministry of Education. It is a great programme covering all of the subjects needed for the students to succeed in the real World.

Friendly environment. Tuition in a positive, supporting and friendly atmosphere is an absolute must for us. All the students work in an environment, which encourages original solutions to the projects presented. Individual guidance is given to help students achieve this goal. The Marbella Design Academy offers the students a good and personal tuition. Both lectures are in groups and one to one tuition with the teachers.

Many Student Grants departments in Europe have approved Grants to students studying at the Marbella Design Academy. Many student loan offices have approved grants to our students. For example the Marbella Design Academy is the only design school in Spain, where the Danish and Swedish students can obtain grants to study from their home government, SU in Denmark and CSN in Sweden. Other students are recommended to check with the Student Grant office in their home country. If a student cannot obtain a grant to study at our Academy, then you will be pleased to know that we are keeping the yearly tuition fee as low as possible. Furthermore the Marbella Design Academy has an Academic level that competes with the best design schools in the World.

It can be difficult to choose which course/profession to study; we therefore give all new students the option, within the first two months, to change to one of our other courses.
