About ETSAV
Located in the heart of the Barcelona Metropolitan Region, ETSAV is deeply involved in discussions on architecture experimentation, urban transformation and sustainability. Our Bachelor and Master programmes on Architecture, taught in Catalan and Spanish, shape well-rounded architects, while our Masters of Science in Sustainable Built Environment, and of Architectural Design Ecology, both taught in English, focus on experimenting new design techniques and rethinking cities and territories from environmental and social perspective.
Internationalisation and mobility
ETSAV maintains mobility agreements with 60 universities worldwide, including institutions in Europe, the USA, and Latin America, as well as through the SICUE programme within Spain. Additionally, we have partnerships with other schools such as the Illinois School of Architecture (USA), ENSA Montpellier (France), and Università di Enna Kore (Italy) – the last two with a double degree agreement. More than half of our Master of Science students come from abroad, creating a vibrant and diverse community where different backgrounds and perspectives come together.
Research and innovation
At the Sant Cugat campus, teaching is enriched by the synergies with our CRAL Research Centre and the CRITT incubator for innovative projects. These centres foster collaborations with cutting-edge initiatives, engaging both undergraduate and master's students in topics such as urban sustainability and territorial management.
