The 3 year Graphic Design Course at the Marbella Design Academy, is goal orientated from the very first day of study.
The Graphic Design Course at the Marbella Design Academy is different from most programmes offered at other educational institutions. At the Marbella Design Academy we value our aim to educate students to become professional Graphic Designers, not only to a top level in all of the required subjects, but as well as in the professional computer programs used in the industry.
The Graphic Design Students at the Marbella Design Academy are therefore taught computer programs such as In Design, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver, to a medium/high level during the first year of study.
When students enter into the 2nd and 3rd years, they will be proficient in the use of In Design, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver. They will then be able solve their given projects, at a high academic and professional level that not many in the industry can achieve.
The results are outstanding presentations of projects and convincing portfolios full of professionally developed projects.
The Marbella Design Academy educates the students to a near one-hundred percent employment rate.

The Study Plan 2nd and 3rd year
Marbella Design Academy - Costa del Sol sl. was founded in 1995 and has, with 14 years of experience, developed into one of the best top level modern Design Academies in the World.
The Academy, there is a State Recognised institution with CODE no: 29016884, is located in a new and beautiful specially designed building at 2.000m2, approved by The Ministry of Education. The building is equipped with all imaginable facilities.
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 students excellent and personal tuition. Lectures are given in groups and in one to one tutorials.
The Marbella Design Academy teaches and follows, in the 2nd and 3rd year, the subjects of the State recognised programme from the Ministry of Education-Junta de Andalucia in Spain.
The programme has been improved by the Academy and an extra year has been added, as there is insufficient time available in years two and three to introduce necessary computer programs. For the students to have the maximum benefit, computer programs are introduced in the 1st year of study.
Many Student Grant and Loan departments in Europe have approved Grants to students studying at the Marbella Design Academy. For example the Marbella Design Academy is the only design school in Spain, where Danish and Swedish students can obtain study grants from their home government, SU in Denmark and CSN in Sweden. We recommended students 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 two month, to change to one of our other courses.
