The Foundation Year, accredited by RUFA – Rome University of Fine Arts, is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in design or other creative fields, but who may not yet meet the academic requirements for admission to a three-year degree programme.

Access to our Short and Summer Courses is open to all talents who wish to deepen their skills in the fashion system. No formal selection process is required: enrollment is open, following a non-binding introductory interview.
The requirements vary depending on the program: for Undergraduate and Bachelor’s courses, a high school diploma is required; for Master’s and Master of Arts courses, a university degree is required. Some courses require a portfolio, while others only need strong motivation. All programs include an introductory interview. Please check the dedicated section to review the specific requirements for each course.
The selection process consists of an orientation interview with an Academic Advisor. We assess your motivation, interest in fashion, and, when applicable, your portfolio or personal projects. The goal is to determine whether the chosen course is a good fit for your profile.
Yes. You can submit your application through the official form on the website, selecting the course you are interested in. After submission, you will be contacted to schedule the admission interview, either online or in person.
Admissions remain open until all available places are filled. For annual and three-year courses, most applications are submitted between January and September. For Master’s programs, applications are also accepted from October to December. We recommend applying early to secure your place.
For some courses, yes, it is required(eg. Fashion Design, Styling, Photography), while for other programs, the portfolio is optional or not required. In any case, having a portfolio can strengthen your evaluation during the selection process.
