EASD Ramón Falcón

What EASD Ramón Falcón does

EASD Ramón Falcón is a public art and design school established in 1967 in Lugo, Galicia, Spain, operating under the Regional Ministry of Education of Galicia (Xunta de Galicia). The institution delivers two four-year Bachelor's Degrees in Design — Graphic Design and Interior Design (240 ECTS each) — alongside four vocational training cycles in Artistic Photography, Artistic Ceramics, Engraving and Printing Techniques, and Artistic Screen Printing. Admission is centralised through the regional government's online registration system (eas.xunta.gal) and requires prior registration, entrance exams, and in-person enrollment at the school secretariat.

The school's underlying technology is conventional rather than proprietary: specialised workshops in ceramics, photography, screen printing, and engraving, complemented by a school library of over 3,600 bibliographic records integrated into the Meiga Galician library network, and a set of digital services (Virtual Classroom, CodexPro, Virtual Secretariat) for academic administration. The institution is part of the four-school Network of Art and Design Schools of Galicia (alongside EASD Maestro Mateo, EASD Pablo Picasso, and EASD Antonio Faíde), which holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (ER-0225/2019) from AENOR.

Economically, EASD Ramón Falcón is a state-funded entity; revenue is composed of public education budget allocations from the Xunta de Galicia and regulated tuition fees paid through the ATRIGA tax system, with no commercial revenue model. Its primary customer segments are higher education students seeking design degrees and vocational training students seeking plastic arts and design qualifications. The school also generates ancillary value through Erasmus+ mobility, internship partnerships across ceramic, photography, engraving, screen printing, and interior design industries, and selective industry engagement (e.g., Pull&Bear recruitment sessions).
