Incoming students and staff guide 2015-2016 ES DAP Catalunya 1 ESCOLA SUPERIOR DE DISSENY I ARTS PLASTIQUES DE CATALUNYA ESDAP is an academic structure composed by union of the seven public schools of design of the Departament d'ensenyament de Catalunya (Education Department of Catalonia) The aim of this project is to create a new structure, stronger and more dynamic, to meet the challenges of the future by improving unity and quality. The degree conferred is the official diploma of the European Space of Higher Education. It has the same structure as a Bachelor of Arts and includes the European Diploma Supplement (DS). This degree structure enables mobility, as both students and graduates are recognized academically and professionally throughout Europe. The degree of Higher Education in Design allows access to Masters Programs to obtain an official degree of Master in Art and Design. General regulations of mobility The creation of ESDAP (Cataloniaʼs Higher School of Design and Plastic Arts) means that the seven schools of art and design become the campuses that articulate and coordinate the Higher Studies of Design in Catalonia. The structure of ESDAP in seven campuses is a singular organization that demands a great clarification and coordination of all the conventional management processes of an educational institution. This is even more the case in mobility programs, where very different academic, communication and economic processes take place. Therefore, very clear regulations and criteria have to be established in order to increase effectiveness and efficiently solve the problems that may arise. This fact implies that it is necessary to establish uniform regulations that manage mobility programs on the different campuses, integrate previous experiences and establish clear, transparent and fair procedures that guarantee the success of these mobility programs

This portfolio will be submitted in PDF format and will be uploaded on the application form or with the link to where it is uploaded. 6. Curriculum Vitae in Europass format. PDF document. https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/en/documents/curriculum-vitae 7. Letter of motivation with the reasons that move the applicant to carry out his ESDAP mobility. It cannot be longer than an A4 sheet and has to be sent in a PDF document. Applicants will select the main campus where they want to carry out their studies mobility but they can also choose one or more secondary campuses, where they will carry out up to 30 % of the credits for which they have enrolled. III. Selection scale The scale that will be applied for the selection of applicants will have a maximum grade of 100 marks. The distribution of this grade will be done according to the following elements: 1. Language Criteria (up to 40 marks) At the time of the mobility, it is essential to have sufficient knowledge of the ESDAP teaching language. For the selection process, Spanish and Catalan will be valued as teaching languages. English will be valued when it is contemplated in the bilateral agreement between the educational institutions. The languages of instruction are Catalan and/or Spanish depending on the teachers of each ESDAP campus. The language of teaching will be indicated in the catalogue of courses. Some teachers can help incoming students in English in the beginning of their Erasmus mobility, but it is strongly recommended that incoming students have the minimum level of Spanish or Catalan (B1). As a marking system, the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages will be used. Level A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2 Grade 15 20 25 30 35 40
Incoming students and staff guide 2015-2016 ES DAP Catalunya 11 The applicant or the home institution may be required additional information as for language certificates in cases where there may be some doubt concerning the correspondence between the claimed level and the level on the scale above. If the applicant claims two or more languages, the highest ranking one will be taken into account. If he claims that the teaching language is his mother tongue, a C2 level will be granted. Not having the minimum language level can be a reason for exclusion of the selection process, except in duly justified cases where the student will have the required level when the mobility is carried out. 2. Portfolio or book (up to 40 marks) We require a collection of (mainly academic) projects which shows the skills that the student has acquired. It will have a pdf format and will be submitted through the registration system. 3. Curriculum Vitae in Europass format and letter of motivation (up to 20 marks) The Europass CV can be found in the following link: https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/es/documents/curriculum-vitae The student has to point out the work and complementary training activities that have been carried out and affect the Higher Studies of Design skills. Likewise, we will value the participation in extracurricular activities which have been organized by the home institution and activities of support and accompanying of incoming students, etc. The letter of motivation has to reflect the reasons that move the student to apply for a mobility and the objectives that he aims to achieve. The beneficiaries will be assigned to the corresponding ESDAP campus, following the order of the scores obtained. During the selection process, ESDAP reserves the right to request the supporting documentation that it deems necessary or convoke examinations of any kind in order to carry out a more accurate selection of candidates. By agreeing to these regulations, applicants also accept this right.
