The Higher Design Degrees offered by EADE are official university degrees comprising 240 ECTS credits and lasting four years, in accordance with Law 1/2024 of 7 June, which regulates higher arts education and establishes the organisation and equivalencies of professional arts education.

The curriculum for the Official Higher Artistic Education in Design for the Autonomous Community of Andalusia was published in Decree 111/2014 of 8 July, which establishes Higher Artistic Education in Design in Andalusia. This official qualification is awarded by the President of the Regional Government of Andalusia on behalf of the King of Spain.

These official qualifications are valid throughout the State and take full effect from the date of complete completion of the studies corresponding to their attainment, and entitle their holders to enjoy the rights granted in each case by the regulations in force.

These courses do not require the Selectividad or EBAU (University entrance exams) as an entry requirement, but candidates must pass a specific compulsory test which the Regional Government of Andalusia usually sets in early July and September/October. EADE provides free preparation for candidates to pass this test; to date, 100% of students have passed.

Places for the Specific Test will be available for booking from January onwards. The Centre for Higher Studies in Design is authorised by the Regional Ministry of Education of the Regional Government of Andalusia, with centre code number 29018844.

PAYMENT METHODS

At EADE we offer different payment methods so that each student or family can organise the investment in their education in the most convenient way possible.

The aim is to facilitate access to our university programmes and enable clear financial planning from the very start of the admissions process.

A) Full payment with early payment discount

Students who make full payment before the start of the course may benefit from a 5% early payment discount on the corresponding amount.

This option is designed for those who wish to settle their academic investment from the outset and benefit from a direct reduction in the total programme cost. It is a convenient alternative for families and students who prefer to simplify the financial management of the course and avoid periodic payments throughout the academic year.

B) Direct debit payment in 7 monthly instalments.

For those who prefer to spread the course fee more comfortably, EADE offers the option of paying by direct debit in 7 monthly instalments.

This option helps better organise the family economy and spread the educational investment throughout the course, without having to pay the full amount in a single payment. It is a simple, practical, and planned formula for accessing university education with greater flexibility.

C) Bank financing in 10 interest-free monthly instalments

EADE also offers the option of bank financing in 10 interest-free monthly instalments through partner banks.

This option is aimed at students and families who wish to have a longer payment term, facilitating access to the programme and allowing for better financial organisation.

Special conditions for elite athletes

At EADE we value the effort, discipline and resilience of elite athletes.

Therefore, students who can demonstrate an outstanding sporting track record may enquire about the possibility of accessing special conditions during their admissions process, aimed at facilitating compatibility between their university education and their sporting commitments.

The Admissions team will inform you of the relevant conditions, requirements and application procedure.

Group discounts

EADE offers special discounts for certain groups, partner organisations or specific agreements.

These supports help facilitate access to university education for students from institutions, companies, or groups with which EADE has collaboration agreements. Consult our admissions team to see if you can benefit from any of these special conditions.

Sibling discount

When two siblings study at EADE, a 10% discount may be applied to each of them, facilitating access to university education for several members of the same family.

This support is designed to help families who trust EADE with the education of more than one student.
