Students Rights & Regulations FOR SHORT COURSES

The aim of the Academy is to encourage students to pursue their studies in an atmosphere that promotes and develops a partnership in learning. The focus of the Academy community is therefore on personal responsibility of the individual and to each other.

The Academy is dedicated to promoting equality of opportunity, avoidance of unfair practice and promotion of essential values such as respect and courtesy towards others regardless of race, religious beliefs, social class, gender or sexual orientation.

Normal rules which apply in any community, also apply in this Academy. You, as part of this community, are expected to:

  • Adopt a responsible attitude in helping to create a supportive community in which everyone can flourish
  • Respect the rights of all others within the Marbella Design Academy community.
