Setting Description:

The Institute is housed in a unique and stunning building with a fascinating past – the building was designed and purpose-built by Audi, with creativity in mind, as their European design headquarters. Our extensive refurbishment programme has harnessed the building’s creative potential, giving our students access to state-of-the-art facilities that include a 200-seat theatre, world-class dance studios, rehearsal studios, music practice rooms, and a library – not to mention an onsite café with social spaces. Situated half an hour from the centre of Barcelona, Sitges is one of Spain's jewels. Originally a small fishing village, in the 19th century it became a centre for counter-culture and the arts. Sitges has the largest street carnival in mainland Europe (as well as numerous other festivals), is home to a major international film festival and has five substantial museums and galleries. It is a modern and exciting town with an excellent nightlife, but retains much of its original charm
