Welcome to ESDi, Higher School of Design!

If you have an original mind, creativity in your soul, and an independent spirit, then you will love exploring one of the most influential universities for design and fashion in Spain. Founded in 1989, ESDi was the first university in Spain to impart an Official Undergraduate Degree in Design. Innovation is at the heart of all we do, so it is no surprise we are at the forefront of the creative and technology sector. We promote innovation, knowledge, and improvement in the field of Fashion Management, Styling and Fashion Communication, Footwear Design, UI/UX Design and Digital Art Curatorship.

Our campus is located in the centre of Sabadell (Barcelona) and we have more than 14.000 m2 of facilities equipped with specialized workshops and tech labs focused on additive manufacturing and 3D printing, immersive and holographic virtual reality (powered by HP), and digitalization of textile design. ESDi is the largest design campus in Barcelona, and the facilities have adopted all the necessary measures to guarantee the health of our students and professors. Most of our Masters are imparted in the School of Arts and Fashion Techniques (EATM), a centre with an experience of over 50 years in fashion and styling located on Passeig de Gràcia, the most important shopping avenue in Barcelona. A very inspiring place full of design and luxury, where fashion meets culture and architecture.

ESDi is an inspiring and challenging design school environment in which to develop your skills, experience, and networks. Its reputation stems from the creative energy of its students and professors and the stellar achievement of our alumni.

New design hub in Sabadell

From 2021, the hub will become a meeting point between the university and the companies for the integration between ideation, design and business. In addition to a strong emphasis on the empowerment of start-ups and creative talent, and the dissemination of expertise, the creation of spin-offs promoted by the university will be strengthened.
