Educational programme
Students are enrolled in two annual peri-
AIN
ods: September and February what allows
the E.T.S.A.V. to be organised in semes-
ters and the enrolment of 65 students
every period. For those students who

lowing ones are focused on aspects like:
a) Techniques.
b) Settlement.
c) Housing-dwelling and residential envi-
ronment.
d) Urban design.
e) Conveyable structure.
f) Demodulation and restoration.
g) The great scale.
h) The fi nal project.

within the different UPC departments. In
1997-98, 231 students of the second cycle

agreements.
