College of Art and Design

esad — arte&design

ESAD — College of Arts and Design is a higher education institution with a 35-year history. Specializing in Design, Digital Arts and Multimedia, ESAD stands out for the prestige of its teaching staff, the quality of its facilities, and the successful professionals who have trained here.

Throughout our history, the quality of our teaching and intense cultural activity have consolidated ESAD as a school at the center of design culture. More than a higher education institution, the School is a community. ESAD is interconnected with esad—idea, our Research Unit, and Exploratório, a cultural programming venue; it extends to the Design Cluster Market and Casa do Design, a national exhibition space. Since 2019, we have organized the Porto Design Biennale, the major design event in Portugal. We lead the Blue Design Alliance, a consortium of higher education institutions funded by the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Programme.
