Programme
University studies of the Bachelor's Degree proposed by BAU Design College/UVic, are assigned into the Arts and Humanities branch.
The total number of ECTS credits of the Degree is 240; spread over four academic years of 60 ECTS credits each one. All subjects are semester courses and in every academic course, teaching is done in two semesters. The first two academic years of the Bachelor’s Degree in Design are multidisciplinary, but in the second year, in both Graphic Expression and Design Projects for beginners’ subjects, can be chosen depending on the specialization you wish to study since the third course.
In the last two academic years the student can diversify his curriculum by choosing 102 optional credits of more specialised character.
RAC credits
Among the 102 elective credits to be taken in the curriculum, students have the opportunity to earn 6 credits that are recognised as RAC. RACs are defined as the credits that students can attain for participation in university activities that are not part of the curriculum. These activities can be related to culture, sports, student representation, solidarity and cooperation.
External Internships
The syllabus of the Degree in Design from BAU includes a mandatory external internship. The Internship can be undertaken during the 7th and 8th semester of the Curriculum. This professional placement is a valuable period for training and testing, since it allows students to apply and complement the knowledge they have acquired during their undergraduate education, while preparing them for their entry into the labour market.
Final Degree Project
To obtain the degree, students will have to develop a Final Degree Project worth a total of 12 ECTS credits. This will take place during the last semester of fourth year.
