Official Degree in Design and Creative Technologies

Because it’s a degree designed for the future of design. AI and virtual reality are already changing the way we create, and what the market is looking for are people who know how to use these technologies and decide what to do with them. Here you’ll learn both: how to create using AI, virtual and augmented reality, 3D and creative coding, and how to understand people, imagine possible futures and turn them into projects.

From day one, you’ll learn by doing, with real-world projects and lecturers who work in the industry. In your second year, you’ll specialise in Strategy and Futures, with dedicated modules in the curriculum, and in your third year you’ll undertake a compulsory work placement. You’ll compete, travel and grow within a unique creative ecosystem where design, fashion, video games and technology come together.

And as this is a cross-disciplinary programme, it’s useful in any sector that innovates, from a fashion brand or a sports club to a production company or a hospital. You’ll reach your fourth year with a portfolio, your own unique perspective and a network of contacts. You don’t just study the future of design – you start to build it.

You’ll start by building a foundation in design: visual language, composition, drawing, photography and image editing. You’ll then move on to animation, video, 3D and people-centred design. In the advanced modules, you’ll delve deeper into creative technologies, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, strategy and the design of interactive experiences, as well as undertaking work placements and your final-year project.

It is a design degree that makes creative use of technology. It is not aimed at training engineers to develop technology from scratch, but rather professionals capable of applying technological tools to design content, experiences and solutions.

Combine both aspects. You’ll need to develop your creativity and visual sensitivity, but also learn to use digital tools and understand how the experiences you design work. In addition, you’ll work on research, strategy and the ability to present and justify your proposals.

Yes, the programme includes AI applied to creative work. It forms part of a broader curriculum that encompasses other creative technologies, interactive design, 3D, and augmented and virtual reality. It is not simply a matter of learning how to use a tool, but of integrating it into a creative and design process. Furthermore, the course aims to enable students to learn how to build and adapt their own generative AI systems – a third-year module – (visual libraries, specialised models, assistants), whilst taking intellectual property rights into account.

If you wish to study the Bachelor’s Degree in Design and Creative Technologies , you can do so without having completed a specific sixth-form qualification, but you must meet the entry requirements set out in Article 3 of Royal Decree 412/2014.

The first step is to request information. You can do this via the website, by telephone on 91 555 25 28 or by email: orientacion.universitaria@udit.es.

The next step is to sit the placement test, the aim of which is to assess the student’s academic abilities, enabling us to identify any areas requiring extra support before the start of the course.

Once you have taken the test and been notified of your admission to UDIT, please reserve your place to secure your enrolment for the coming academic year. Places are allocated strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.

Yes, this degree is officially recognised and is valid in Spain.

You should be wary of other qualifications advertised on the market as ‘official degrees’ which, in reality, are not. To check whether a qualification is official, you should consultthe RUCT (Register of Universities, Centres and Qualifications)website at , an official body of the Ministry of Universities that oversees academic regulation and the official recognition of university qualifications.

In the 2027–2028 academic year, the fee for the first year of the Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering at UDIT is €12,560, covering the place reservation and tuition for 60 ECTS credits. This figure comprises a €2,100 place reservation fee, which guarantees a place on the chosen degree programme, and a €9,960 tuition fee, at €166 per credit. New students also pay €500 for the opening of their student file, a fee payable only in the first year. The tuition fee includes student insurance.

Tuition fees can be paid in a single instalment — between 1 and 5 September, with a 3 per cent discount — or, for students from Europe, Latin America and Brazil, in ten monthly instalments from September to June, due on the 5th of each month. Students from other regions must pay the full amount in July, before the start of the academic year; from the second year onwards, they may also opt for monthly payments. To reduce the cost, students may consult the current calls for applications for the UDIT scholarships for Academic Excellence, High Academic Achievement, Young Talents and the Trébol Study Grant, as well as discounts for family members, company scholarships applicable to certain degree programmes and the relevant government scholarships. The award and amount of each grant depend on the terms and conditions of the current call for applications.

Yes. The degree can be studied entirely in English, as well as in Spanish. This enables students to develop their professional profile in English from the outset and broaden their international career opportunities.

You will use professional tools such as Unreal Engine, Figma, Blender, TouchDesigner, After Effects and the Adobe suite. Each one enables you to work on different aspects, ranging from visual design and 3D to interaction and digital experiences. The specific use of these tools varies depending on the modules and projects.

Tools are evolving rapidly. For this reason, training is not viewed solely as learning how to use software, but also as developing the fundamentals of design, research, critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills. These skills help people adapt to new tools, although they cannot guarantee what the future labour market will look like.

The recommended entry profile for this degree is that of a student with an interest in design, creativity, visual culture and digital technologies, who wishes to develop innovative solutions to address social, cultural, technological and business challenges.
