The Degree in Digital Design and the Degree in Animation are part of the Art and Humanities area of knowledge. The key aspect is that it is a vocational choice and the students are people with creative concerns, for the Degree in Digital Design it is essential that the student has artistic concerns, although not necessary that they proceed from the Baccalaureate of Arts, since during the first year U-tad students receive basic training specific to the area.

Similarly, and depending on the availability of the classrooms, the appropriate procedures are established for their use by the students outside the school hours
