Study Design and Multimedia in Italy

Milan is one of the four capitals of global design, alongside New York, London, and Tokyo. The Salone del Mobile — the world's most important furniture and interior design fair — is held annually in Milan and draws 300,000 visitors from 165 countries. The Politecnico di Milano's School of Design is consistently ranked in the global top 5 for design education. Domus Academy, Istituto Marangoni, and NABA are internationally respected institutions that attract students from every continent. Italian design culture — shaped by Achille Castiglioni, Ettore Sottsass, Mario Bellini, Alessandro Mendini, and their successors — is defined by a particular combination of aesthetic rigour, material intelligence, and conceptual wit. For design students, there is simply nowhere else in the world that offers this combination of academic excellence and cultural immersion.
