Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia and Graphic Design

The main purpose of ESNE is to train tomorrow's professionals to be able to develop complex projects such as branding, publishing projects, and product packaging, among others.

Graphic designer is a key player between a brand or company and its potential costumer. From the point of view of different concepts, ideas and tools management, graphic design can be considered one of the most transversal disciplines within the field of creativeness.

Currently, the market demands a type of designer who is multidisciplinary with research skills and is highly adaptable when it comes to concepts and ideas processing, and to development of innovative and efficient communication tools.

Increasingly, graphic design involves the use of a wide variety of tools and techniques. In this regard, it is especially interesting that students can respond to a briefing by managing knowledge from different areas such as Photography, Art Direction, Web, Motion Graphic, etc. This type of projects will enable students to develop highly creative concepts and to apply them in different communicative actions.

The existence of different training strategies alongside the wide range and high specialization of our degrees allow ESNE to teach different working methods. In this manner, our students are given a solid training regarding our degrees, preparing them to work in any of the fields of graphic design and visual communication.

Accordingly, our students are formed from a methodological perspective that broadens the horizons of their knowledge, not only in subjects such as the history of design, marketing and audiovisual communication, but puts in place mechanisms of creative development that adapt to the needs of all types of customers and sectors, both traditional and modern.
