Description

The Study Abroad Italy (SAI) program at Domus Academy offers three summer programs in Milan and one Dual City summer programs in London & Milan. These courses are designed for college students who are pursuing a design related degree or young professionals looking to expand their portfolio. Students will earn three or six US credits per program, depending upon the program's duration. Course topics include: Design, Fashion Styling, Visual Merchandising, Car Design and Interior Design.

Students who apply to SAI's summer study abroad program at DA are embarking upon a unique and intellectually rigorous adventure. Each subject-specific program at DA is designed with the goal of maximizing the student experience; both in terms of providing a framework for academic inquiry, as well as offering each student the opportunity to work under the mentorship of leading industry professionals. For this reason, each summer session has been carefully designed and constructed to offer the maximum educational value.

Founded in 1983, Domus Academy is considered one of Europe's top design schools, offering eight Master level programs during the academic year, along with summer programs. Recent industry publications proclaim Domus Academy as one of the top three international design programs. Winner of the Compasso d'Oro, Italy's most sought after design award, DA has always been a true pioneer of "Made in Italy," not simply teaching how to design products, but considering design as a complex, challenging activity which strategically contributes to direct the form and meaning of industrial production and culturally outlines different aesthetic and social visions. Furthermore, DA gives its students the opportunity to meet and to work with a wide network of design and fashion companies.
