FASHION DESIGN - SCHOOL OF ROME
Academic courses B.A. Hons degree program

The Rome school proposed a bachelor's degree course in Fashion Design. The entire program lasts three years (six academic semesters).
The first level corresponds to the first year of studies (basic level of fashion design).
The second year (third and fourth academic semesters) is the professional level, while the advanced level is developed in the third year of studies (fifth and sixth academic semesters). Students who have completed this program may, if they wish, continue their studies in the Masters program in Fashion Design.

The Rome school proposes this course of studies that derives its experience from the academic programs developed in more than a quarter of a century of activities.

The student is stimulated to apply his or her creativity both in industrial projects as well in the high fashion sector.
This means picking of those trade secrets while at the same time widening one's own cultural basis in order to be able to face the world of fashion with solid practical and theoretical knowledge.
For this reason each collection is examined on a technical-creative basis as well as being analyzed with a marketing outlook.

The fashion designer must be able to pick up the signals of changes in tastes to propose ever new trends. Students of the Accademia Italiana, during the second and third years of studies, have the possibility to present their collections to a specialized public.
The fashion shows of the Accademia Italiana are, in fact, international events that are closely followed by operators in the field, by the press and mass media.
These become, thus, a perfect launch pad for the young designer.

During the course there are many possibilities for contact with designers and industries.
Important designers are often are often invited to the school for encounters and conferences.
The experience at the Accademia Italiana is lively and interesting.

Among the various possibilities there is that of attending a part of the course in another city (at the Accademia Italiana in Florence or in another country) to develop a dynamic and global approach to the subject.
The Accademia Italiana is, infact, an international school where creativity is lived without borders.
