Fashion Schools in Italy with English taught Masters degrees

Fashion Schools Italy: English taught Masters degreesFashion Schools Italy: English taught Masters degrees


When it comes to Masters Degrees, itโ€™s important to find out if your Bachelorโ€™s degree will be accepted by that masters degree program.

Thatโ€™s why we will also highlight programs that allow you to come from a non-fashion background.

This list below is divided into Individual degrees as well as schools offering a range of masters programs you can choose from.

It is also arranged from most affordable to most highly priced as best as I could as some institutions have a range of fees.

Also note that fees for Non-EU students might be higher than those for EU students. All the degrees below are studied on location.

Note: I found that visiting these websites on Google (as compared to other browsers) gave instant translation from Italian to English (if you need that).

Final Thoughts





A Masters degree can be a great way to break not the industry especially if you find that you had NOT studied fashion at bachelors level.

Prices do range as well as what is actually offered in the program.

One of the most exciting developments in Fashion education that I came across has to be thee one year intensive courses that can prepare you for a masters degree even without many of the conventional prerequisites usually asked for so do check those out.
