La Escuela de Arte y Superior de Diseño de Orihuela (Alicante) (ciudad de larga tradición cultural y artística tanto
por la Universidad que allí existió durante los siglos XVII y XVIII, como por su Sede Episcopal), es un centro que
oferta enseñanza cualificada en los diversos ámbitos del diseño, la creación y las artes plásticas.
A lo largo de sus casi 40 años de existencia ha conocido diversos planteamientos pedagógicos, siempre centrados
en la enseñanza directa y práctica del taller. En las aulas de la EASD-Orihuela, siempre atenta a las necesidades
de su entorno social, productivo y cultural, se han formado gran parte de los actuales profesionales del diseño
(respondiendo a la demanda del constante crecimiento económico) de la provincia y, en particular, de la Vega Baja
del Segura.
La Escuela de Arte y Superior de Diseño de Orihuela es un centro público, dependiente de la Generalitat
Valenciana. Los estudios que oferta están enmarcados en el área de las enseñanzas de Artes Plásticas y Diseño
reguladas por la LOE (Ley Orgánica de Educación. Ley 2/2006 de 3 de Mayo).
Su larga experiencia en el ámbito europeo (programas Leonardo, Petra, Comenius) y su actual realidad
intercultural, facilitará la tarea de conseguir y firmar los necesarios Acuerdos Bilaterales con Centros Superiores
Europeos dentro del marco del Programa de becas Erasmus.
Objetivos:
Informar a estudiantes y profesores de que el ámbito internacional es un valor central de la política de nuestra
Escuela.
Incrementar nuestra calidad en la investigación, educación y actividades artísticas a través de una intensa
colaboración internacional.
Dar publicidad al perfil internacional de nuestra Escuela.
Prioridades:
Conseguir y aumentar Acuerdos Bilaterales, y mantenernos en el empeño de hacerlos cada vez más efectivos.
Creación de un despacho de orientación y guía para la movilidad tanto de estudiantes como del profesorado.
Rediseñar nuestra página web con el fin de facilitar toda la información sobre la internacionalización. Incorporar a
dicha web la Carta Universitaria Erasmus y la Declaración de Política Erasmus.
Crear un entorno general de estudio en el que la internacionalización esté presente.
Seguir organizando seminarios y talleres abiertos al público en general, dar soporte a la enseñanza basada en la
investigación y crear una progresiva ciudadanía europea (Lifelong Learning Programme).
Seguir abordando la enseñanza desde una perspectiva de género, luchando contra los estereotipos, y desde
nuestra actual realidad intercultural.
En nuestra Escuela se ha diseñado un plan de accesibilidad para atender las discapacidades físicas. En cuanto a
los estudiantes con algún otro tipo de desordenes (dislexias, tartamudez, etc.) la integración ha sido una constante:
disponemos de un acuerdo con el Centro de Educación Especial “Antonio Sequeros”, muy cercano a nuestro
Centro.

What kind of specific measures are implemented in the institution to ensure highest quality in academic mobility
activities?
Details should be provided in particular on: recognition and credit systems, the provision of information on curricula,
information and counselling of outgoing students, tutoring and integration of incoming students, provision of student
services (in particular accommodation), preparatory and refresher language courses, facilitation and
acknowledgement of staff mobility.
Los estudiantes que forman parte del intercambio reciben certificados de llegada y de salida. Cada estudiante debe
rellenar su Contrato de Estudios, donde se especifica el número de ETCS que éste deberá completar durante su
estancia en la universidad de acogida. En cuanto a los alumnos interesados en participar en un intercambio,
pueden solicitar información en la oficina Erasmus o a los profesores-delegados Erasmus. Toda la información de la
convocatoria anual, así como información de interés para el alumno candidato se encuentra en nuestra web. Los
estudiantes que llegan son atendidos en la oficina Erasmus, que es la encargada de proporcionar información de la
escuela a nivel académico y práctico, y también de la ciudad y de su entorno. Con un mes de antelación, los
alumnos de llegada reciben esta información en su escuela. En cada uno de los periodos de llegada de alumnos, el
centro organiza unas jornadas de bienvenida en la que se visitan el Ayuntamiento, la Ciudad Monumental (Catedral,
Museos, etc), Biblioteca, Universidad y la propia escuela. De manera coordinada, el ayuntamiento, a través de sus
concejalías de educación y juventud, realiza un acto institucional de bienvenida, en el que se suministra a los
estudiantes Erasmus un dossier con información de interés. Además de la oficina Erasmus, existe un profesordelegado Erasmus en cada departamento con el fin de facilitar la integración del estudiante en la vida académica.
También desde esta oficina, y en colaboración con la concejalía de juventud, se canaliza la información sobre
alojamiento, bien a través de los colegios mayores universitarios de la ciudad, o bien a través del amplia oferta de
viviendas en alquiler y/o para compartir. El centro organiza cursos intensivos de español de 15 días de duración
para los alumnos Erasmus. Se proporciona información adicional para los alumnos que deseen perfeccionar su
nivel de español, a través de la colaboración con la Escuela Oficial de Idiomas y otros centros.
Quality of student placement activities:
What kind of specific measures are implemented to ensure high quality in student placements? Give details on how
the work-programme and the placement agreement are prepared and implemented. Please describe the practical
arrangements agreed between the parties. Please specify also the monitoring and evaluation of the placement period
as well as its recognition in the curriculum.
A cada estudiante que solicite venir a nuestra Escuela se le pide un portafolio, una carta de motivación y un
Curriculum Vitae. Este “dossier” se traslada a los Jefes de cada Departamento con el fin de que lo evalúen. Una vez
el estudiante ha sido aceptado se le pone en contacto con los Profesores delegados Erasmus para ubicarlo en el
curso/actividades más convenientes. Los estudiantes que nos visitan pueden seleccionar cualquier asignatura de la
oferta educativa de la que dispone el Centro. Aunque se les recomienda que escojan asignaturas prácticas y
talleres. Por supuesto pueden optar a cualquier asignatura teórica siempre que la competencia lingüística sea
suficiente. Cada estudiante deberá completar una total de 30 ECTS en el semestre de estancia, esta información
será trasladada al Profesor delegado Erasmus del Departamento correspondiente. En el sistema de firma de
nuevos Acuerdos Bilaterales se siguen diferentes procedimientos, todos deben contemplar el número de
estudiantes y la duración de la estancia. Algunos contemplan también la movilidad de profesorado y/o personal.
Cuando firmamos un nuevo Acuerdo Bilateral intentamos asegurar al máximo la compatibilidad entre las dos
Instituciones; esto lo hacemos visitando o invitando a que nos visiten. También se consensúa el año académico
más conveniente para que los estudiantes tomen parte en el intercambio (recomendamos el último año académico).
Cada estudiante es tutelado por el profesor-delegado quien traslada la información a la coordinación Erasmus. En
caso de producirse algún incidente se informa inmediatamente al coordinador de la Institución que ha enviado al
estudiante. Finalizado el período de estudios el alumno recibe un certificado en el que se incluye su evaluación
numérica, el número de créditos y también una evaluación cualitativa. También se les solicita que cumplimenten un
cuestionario sobre su nivel de satisfacción en el intercambio lo que nos permite introducir mejoras en el programa
de movildad

The Orihuela School of Art and College of Design (Escuela de Arte y Superior de Diseño de Orihuela (Alicante)) is
situated in Orihuela, a town with a long and artistic history due to its university tradition during the XVII and XVIII
centuries, and because of being Episcopal See too.
This school offers qualified instruction in different areas such as design, creation and plastic arts.
Throughout its almost 40 years of existence, the school has known different pedagogical approaches, which have
always been focused on direct instruction and practice in workshops.
Orihuela- EASD, where most of the present professionals in the design have been educated, has always catered for
all the needs of the local, social and cultural environment in order to meet the demand of the constant economic
growth in the area, in the region, and particularly, in the Vega Baja of the Segura.
The Orihuela School of Art and College of Design is a public centre which is dependent on the Valencian
Generalitat, or Regional Government. The studies offered in the school are found within the area of the plastic arts
and design regulated by LOE (Organic Law of Education. Law 2/2006, 3rd May.).
The school has had a long experience both in the European programmes (Leonardo, Petra, and Comenius) and in
the present intercultural reality, which will facilitate the necessary bilateral agreements with the European higher
education centres within the framework of the Erasmus programmes of grants.
Objectives:
-To inform the students and teachers that the international mobility is a central value in the profile of our school.
-To improve the quality of research, education and artistic activities by means of a close and firm international
collaboration.
-To give publicity to the international profile of our school.
Priorities:
-To reach and increase bilateral agreements, and make every effort to make them more effective.
-To create a counseling service to orientate and guide both teachers and students about the possibilities of mobility.
-To re-design our website in order to provide all the information about international mobility and exchanges, and
publish the Erasmus University Charter and the Erasmus Policy Statement.
-To create a general environment of study where international mobility is present.
-To continue organizing seminars and workshops open to the public in general to promote LLP (Lifelong Learning
Programme).
-To give support to research-based teaching.
-To contribute to a growing European citizenship.
In our school a plan of accessibility has been designed to attend physical disabled people. Regarding those students
with some other type of disability (dyslexia, stutter, etc.), the integration has also been a constant concern for the
school. In fact the centre has an agreement with “Antonio Sequeros”, an education institution for the children with
special needs, which is situated close to the school.
Quality of academic mobility activities:
What kind of specific measures are implemented in the institution to ensure highest quality in academic mobility
activities?
Details should be provided in particular on: recognition and credit systems, the provision of information on curricula,
information and counselling of outgoing students, tutoring and integration of incoming students, provision of student
services (in particular accommodation), preparatory and refresher language courses, facilitation and
acknowledgement of staff mobility.

Students that take part in the exchange will receive both an Arrival and a Departure certificate. Every student will
have to fill in a Study Agreement, where the number of ETCs, that the students will have to complete during their
stay in the host university, will be specified.Those students who are interested in taking part in an exchange will be
able to ask for information in the Erasmus office or to the teachers who are in charge of the Erasmus programmes.
The candidate students will find all the information about the annual official announcement as well as all that can be
of interest for them in our web too. The incoming students will be attended in the Erasmus office, which will provide
both academic and practical information about the school, as well as about the town and its surroundings.Besides,
the incoming students will also receive such information in their corresponding schools one month in advance. On
the arrival of the students, the centre will organize a series of welcome activities which will include a visit to the Town
hall, the historical town centre (cathedral, museums, etc.), library, university and the school itself. In collaboration
with the Town hall, the Education and Youth City Councils, the school will organize an official welcome act, where an
informative dossier will be given to all the Erasmus students. In addition to the Erasmus office, in each department
there will be an Erasmus delegate-teacher who will facilitate the integration of the student in the academic life.
Moreover from this office, and in collaboration with the Youth Council, the students will receive practical information
about accommodation, either in university student residences in the town, or in flats to rent and /or to share. The
school will also organize intensive Spanish courses (15-day courses) for Erasmus students. Besides, with the help
of the Official School of Languages and other qualified institutions, additional information will be supplied to the
students.
Quality of student placement activities:
What kind of specific measures are implemented to ensure high quality in student placements? Give details on how
the work-programme and the placement agreement are prepared and implemented. Please describe the practical
arrangements agreed between the parties. Please specify also the monitoring and evaluation of the placement period
as well as its recognition in the curriculum.
The students who apply for our school will be asked to send a portfolio, a letter of motivation and a CV. This dossier
will be sent to the Head of Department to be evaluated. Once the student has been admitted, he will get in contact
with the Erasmus delegate-teachers who will help them to find the most suitable course and/or activities. Incoming
students will be able to choose any subject within the whole educational offer of the school. Although every student
will be advised to choose both practical subjects and workshops, they will be able to choose any theoretical subject
as long as their language competence is good enough. Every student will have to fulfill 30 ECTs in a term; this
information will be given to the Erasmus delegate-teacher of the corresponding Department. In order to settle new
bilateral agreements, different procedures will be followed. All the agreements will have to take into account the
number of students and the duration of their stay. Some of them will also consider the mobility of the teachers and/
or staff. When a new bilateral agreement is signed up we will ensure the highest degree of compatibility between
both institutions; and to do this, we will visit them or they will be invited to visit us. Besides we will try to make the
academic organization of the year suitable for those students interested in coming here (we recommend the last
academic year). Every student will be tutored and monitored by the delegate-teacher who will give their evaluation to
the Erasmus Coordinator. In case any problem occurred we would immediately report to the sending institution
coordinator to solve it as soon as possible. Once the period of studies is finished, students will receive a certificate
which will include a grade, the number of ECTs and the comments of the lecturer about their work. They will also be
required to complete a questionnaire to let us know their level of satisfaction of their stay, which will help us to
improve our mobility programme.
