Bachelor in Digital Arts - Minor in Concept Art

The Bachelor's Degree in Digital Arts at La Salle Campus Barcelona is the only official university degree in Catalonia focused exclusively on digital arts that responds to the evolution of art in the digital era, where technology has transformed the tools, spaces and creation formats, with a clear focus on the professional opportunities for our graduates.

To train the artists of the future, this program combines the fundamentals of traditional Fine Arts with the most advanced digital tools, incorporating artificial intelligence naturally into the academic program. Students develop their creativity in an environment where art and technology converge, preparing them to lead innovation in the digital world. 

Throughout the program, you will explore artistic expression in both its classical and digital forms, covering disciplines such as drawing, painting, sculpture, illustration, 2D and 3D art, photography and design. You will also train in key areas such as immersive experience design, interactive installations, videomapping and light and sound art. During the first two years, you will acquire a global vision of art, and from the third year onwards, you will be able to personalise your learning according to your interests by choosing: 

• Mention in Concept Art: focused on creating and designing worlds, characters and elements with the aim of turning an idea into images, mainly for video games, cinema or animation.
• New Media Art electives: focused on experimentation with creative technologies such as interactive installations, immersive exhibitions, light and generative art, mapping and virtual reality.

In the fourth year of the Digital Arts Bachelour's Degree you will have internships, as well as the Final Thesis Project where you will have to create a work or artistic design, with the help of a tutor specialised in your area of interest. This project will be your letter of introduction and the basis of your portfolio, reflecting your identity as an artist. 

In addition, you will have access to the IASlab (Interactive Arts & Science Laboratory) facilities, a pioneering for transdisciplinary research and artistic creation. This space is equipped with an immersive room, as well as laboratories specialising in visual effects, virtual reality, augmented reality and acoustics, offering you a unique environment for experimentation and innovation.

To ensure the future of your projects, we have BrooderLab, a production and distribution company linked to La Salle Campus Barcelona that connects students with the audiovisual industry. It offers a space with professionals to promote your talent and facilitate participation in festivals and international events.

At La Salle-URL, the Bachelour's Degree in Digital Arts is constantly evolving to adapt to the needs of the sector.  Therefore, we have designed a new curriculum with subjects in English and an exclusive AI subject for artists and, from the academic year 2026-2027, we will offer a group entirely in English, expanding our international training opportunities.

Artistic challenges with AI

At La Salle Campus Barcelona we have more than 25 years of experience in artificial intelligence research. Our approach goes beyond the use of digital tools: we train our students to develop critical and deep thinking about AI. Thanks to the collaboration with our engineering school, we prepare them to integrate this technology in an ethical and responsible way, guaranteeing the originality and authorship of the projects.

In a constantly evolving world, every challenge is an opportunity to reinvent the future of digital art. Therefore, in addition to having synergies with engineering, we promote a transdisciplinary education, connecting the Bachelour's Degree in Digital Arts with programs such as Design and Creation of Interactive Products, Multimedia Engineering, Animation & VFX and even Philosophy. This combination allows our students to lead the transformation of the sector with an innovative and comprehensive vision.
