To access the official Higher Artistic Education Degrees in Design, you need to pass the Specific Entrance Exam for Higher Artistic Education. Each Spanish region holds it once a year and it is valid nationwide, so you can sit it wherever you prefer.
The exam has 3 parts:
- Text commentary
- Image commentary
- Drawing (artistic or technical)
We want to make things easier for you: once you have paid the deposit to secure your place at Cesine, you will have access to the Online Campus. There you will find all the material you need to prepare for each part of the exam.
You will also have access to pre-recorded content and live sessions, be able to track your progress and contact the Academic Department if you have any questions.
Please note that our seminar is based on the exam held in Cantabria, although it will be useful for sitting the exam in any region.
