Program description
Develop your skills in analysis and experimentation across disciplines while working on a variety of projects.
The Foundation Course in Global Design is an English-taught, open-syllabus course that provides a hands-on introduction to several types of design (including product design, interior design, fashion design, and graphic design) through the creation of original projects in each of these areas.
You will have the tools you need to work on every level of the design process after completing the course, building your own personal project, and creating your own portfolio. You'll walk away from this course with a diploma from IED and the foundation you need to continue your education at IED Barcelona.

About the university
Since 1966, we have been the largest Higher Education Network in the creative area to keep both a worldwide perspective and a strongly Italian cultural matrix.
Our educational strategy has evolved over time, but at its core remains the same: we mix theoretical study with hands-on experience and the expertise of working experts. One of the things we emphasize in our classes is always thinking ahead, in the here and now. We are a diverse, multidisciplinary institution that views design as a tool for social transformation.
Among the many international academic networks in which we participate are Cumulus, Elia, and WDO, just to name a few.
Campuses
In the 1970s and 1980s, we expanded to Rome (1973), Cagliari (1984), and Turin (1989) in Italy.
Beginning in 1994 with the Madrid campus and continuing on to Barcelona in 2002, Spain's modern era began in the 1990s.
The Group also spread internationally, establishing a presence in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2005, and then in Venice, Italy, in 2007, Florence, Italy, in 2009, and Como, Italy, in 2009, with the acquisition of the Aldo Galli Academy of Fine Arts. The Group expanded its footprint in Brazil in 2014 by renovating the Cassino da Urca and opening a campus in Rio de Janeiro; in 2020, the Group will expand its presence in Spain by purchasing the Centro Superior de Diseo Kunsthal in Bilbao.
