The time that each student spends on each assignment, and consequently on finishing a course, is totally individual, and may be different from other students. The standard amount of time a full-time student spends completing the Drawing | Sculpture course is three academic years.

In order to complete a course, the student must pass all the subjects that make it up, both the Traditional Programme and the Seminars of the chosen curriculum.

The minimum enrolment time for standard courses is always one term or semester [3 months]. At the Barcelona Academy of Art, each academic year is divided into three periods of eleven weeks each. [See Calendar]

Students can join the chosen programme at the beginning of each term and progress on a continuous basis, or they can choose to let some time pass between each enrolment.

Depending on the period in which students want to join, there are maximum deadlines for receiving applications. [See application deadlines]

Present to a greater or lesser degree in all the courses offered at the institution, drawing is the backbone of the Barcelona Academy of Art's teaching process. Without a solid grounding in drawing, most of the difficulties that arise throughout an artistic career are very difficult to solve. Sculpture is drawing in open space. Beginner students begin with the study of the human figure, then go through modelling and finally work on sculpting the torso and life-size figure. As students move towards more complex projects, teachers will motivate them to try out new techniques and shapes so that they can find their own expressive language.

The Drawing | Sculpture course is made up of the subjects of the 19th century Traditional Programme plus the Seminars of this curriculum.

Once the online form has been submitted and the student has been accepted, they will be asked to confirm their place by paying the non-refundable deposit. The non-refundable deposit corresponds to 10% of the total amount of the course enrolled by the student. The rest of the registration fee must be paid by the dates specified via email when confirming the place at the rate of one payment per registered term, and always in advance. If the non-refundable deposit is not paid, the place will remain automatically available for another student.

Students may request refunds (except the non-refundable deposit amount) which will be determined in accordance with the school's internal policy. Any change to be applied after the student's place has been confirmed will require the payment of an administrative fee.

As a general rule, refunds are not permitted other than in cases of extreme seriousness or emergency. In such cases, the student may be required to present the necessary documentation to prove that the circumstances are true. The Management Committee will evaluate each situation and the Administration Department will communicate the final decision to the student. This decision shall be final and not appealable.
