About La Salle Gràcia

La Salle Campus Barcelona offers a Bachelor in Architecture Studies, a 5-year, 300-ECTS program. The school, officially known as ETSALS (Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de La Salle), is a founding member of the University Ramon Llull (URL). It emphasizes training responsible architects capable of responding to societal needs using advanced knowledge and technologies. La Salle's architecture program was ranked first in Spain by the CYD Ranking 2025 and 4th in the QS Sustainability Ranking 2025. The curriculum is articulated in three major areas: architectural design, technical-scientific knowledge (constructive knowledge), and cultural-humanistic studies, guiding students in critical thinking and construction. ETSALS employs a new methodology, differentiating it through units like Barcelona Unit (city projects), International Unit, Visiting Unit (guest professors), Tectonics Unit (art of construction), Sustainable Unit, Lab Unit (digital manufacturing), and Big Data Unit (21st-century cities). The teaching approach focuses on understanding materials and tectonic systems, and studying the cultural, physical, physiological, and historical context of architectural projects. This comprehensive approach ensures graduates are well-prepared for the evolving demands of the architectural profession.
