Program description
Develop your image! This BA (Hons) in Fashion Design will allow you to explore your creative side. Keep an eye on the current state of the fashion business as you look to the past and present for ideas.
Learning from those already in the field can help you gain the objectivity you need to give your own ideas form. In the first year, you'll get to start making your own collections from the ground up, learning the ins and outs of textile materials and pattern making in the process.
After three years of hard work, you will present your thesis and final collection at a fashion show. In addition, after your second year, you have the option of working for a year in the fashion sector. You'll learn everything you need to know to get started in the competitive global fashion industry.

About the university
Since 1966, we have been the largest Higher Education Network in the creative area to keep both a worldwide perspective and a strongly Italian cultural matrix.
Our educational strategy has evolved over time, but at its core remains the same: we mix theoretical study with hands-on experience and the expertise of working experts. One of the things we emphasize in our classes is always thinking ahead, in the here and now. We are a diverse, multidisciplinary institution that views design as a tool for social transformation.
Among the many international academic networks in which we participate are Cumulus, Elia, and WDO, just to name a few.
Campuses
In the 1970s and 1980s, we expanded to Rome (1973), Cagliari (1984), and Turin (1989) in Italy.
Beginning in 1994 with the Madrid campus and continuing on to Barcelona in 2002, Spain's modern era began in the 1990s.
The Group also spread internationally, establishing a presence in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2005, and then in Venice, Italy, in 2007, Florence, Italy, in 2009, and Como, Italy, in 2009, with the acquisition of the Aldo Galli Academy of Fine Arts. The Group expanded its footprint in Brazil in 2014 by renovating the Cassino da Urca and opening a campus in Rio de Janeiro; in 2020, the Group will expand its presence in Spain by purchasing the Centro Superior de Diseo Kunsthal in Bilbao.
