What makes us different?

1. Learning by traveling

Or learning in situ: a way to teach you how to do architecture through works and projects that we will analyze on site. Discovering the context for which they were conceived, their integration into the landscape, or the particularities that shaped their design. Traveling to feed our spirit. And every semester, a new city to explore.
Each year we focus on a different European city, and all our subjects are taught in relation to the cultural, social, climatic, and geographical characteristics of the chosen destination. We also invite native architects to visit our School of Architecture to share their vision of the city by leading an international workshop, and afterwards we travel there to apply what we’ve learned.
ArchiTRIPture is about becoming an architect with a global vision and the ability to build anywhere in the world. That’s why during this degree we travel and study the architecture of: Barcelona, Zurich, Madrid, Berlin...

2. The world at our School of Architecture

A true international architecture hub where students from 45 countries and faculty members from up to 14 nationalities share experiences. With classes in English and practical projects you can work on in Spanish or English, the student-teacher relationship will shape your individual learning journey. All different, but with a shared passion: great architecture.
ESET is one of the best architecture schools thanks to:
  • Small groups: 25 students to ensure personalized learning.
  • Multicultural classrooms: students from countries such as Sweden, Germany, Ukraine, Canada, Norway, Kuwait, etc. You’ll be in our architecture school in Valencia, but it will feel like an English or American university.
  • One-to-one personalized mentoring in practical project subjects.
  • Learning beyond the classroom: enhance your education through workshops, site visits, trips, and participation from international architects.
  • International internships: gain essential professional experience with placements in top national and international studios and firms.
  • Advantages when pursuing the University Master’s Degree in Architecture thanks to the Academic Consecutive Pathway Program (PARS), which allows you to complete both the Degree and the Master’s continuously. You can enroll in the Master’s program with up to 30 ECTS credits remaining, all from the final year, including the Final Degree Project (TFG). For those not enrolled in the program, access to the Master’s is limited to a maximum of 9 pending ECTS credits (excluding the TFG).

3. More than teachers, mentors

Do you want to study just to pass architecture, or to become an architect? You’ll see that during your years at the School, your architecture degree becomes a journey; credits become practical challenges; lectures turn into discussion groups. It’s no longer about exams, schedules, or subjects: it’s about you telling us what kind of architect you want to be.

Your experience in the Architecture Degree won’t be a mere succession of isolated content and final exams: that’s not our model. In our classrooms—and beyond—we’ll nurture your critical thinking and provide you with the tools to develop your own judgment. You’ll learn step by step, internalizing the outcomes of your work and the practical challenges your professors will set throughout the degree. Reflection, reading, understanding, and your own analysis of reality will shape your path as an architect.

4. Conscious architecture

We embrace the architectural philosophy of the three Ps: Prosperity, People, and Planet. A sustainable approach to architecture that meets tomorrow’s challenges. Do you share our vision?
  • Prosperity: architecture as a driver of progress and improved living conditions. A generator of a modern economy.
  • People: architecture designed by and for people. A human-centered approach to shaping spaces and forms.
  • Planet: architecture that creates sustainable spaces to improve the planet’s future.
  • Continuous project design and development mentoring throughout the degree. Architects, companies, and professionals from Spain and abroad are invited to give lectures and workshops to keep our students' training in sustainability up to date.

5. Practicing around the world

Knowledge and hands-on experience are an architect's main sources of information. That’s why we enhance our teaching with professional internships in top national and international architecture studios: Aires Mateus (Portugal), Müller Sigrist (Switzerland), Cruz y Ortiz and OAB Ferrater (Spain), McCullough-Mulvin (Ireland), Merom Architects (Sweden), Mjölk (Czech Republic), among others.
Classmates from around the world, national and international professors, site visits to buildings under construction, professional internships, international workshops, and dynamic learning experiences through travel all shape our students’ path toward the future of architecture: global, dynamic, and at the same time, conscious and sensitive to the cultural, geographical, economic, and social environment that surrounds it.
