Domus Academy began its activity in 1982 in Milan as one of the first post-graduate design schools in Italy and was conceived as an open project around the experience of Italian design and fashion.

Domus Academy is a place where the designers of the future can experience an open and    interdisciplinary environment, working with visionary and avant-garde companies. Following the method based on learning by designing, students develop a mindset that allows them to find creative solutions in future scenarios. BVA Doxa 2023 Survey, aimed to explore the career trajectories of Domus Academy recent graduates, revealed an employment rate of 96%* within the first year following graduation registering also a job satisfaction rate of 88%.

The academic offering consists of 11 Academic Master’s Programmes recognized by MUR (Italian Ministry of University and Research) covering four main areas: Design, Fashion, Experience and Business. From September 2021, the educational opportunities expanded with the Double Award

Master allowing students to receive a Master of Arts with British accreditation too. Answering to the rising trends and market needs, Domus Academy has just launched 2-year Master of Arts programmes: MA in Design Innovation and MA in Fashion: Design, Art & Technology.

Over the years, Domus Academy has received numerous awards and recognitions including the Compasso d'Oro Award for the quality of research and academic approach and the Special Badge of Excellence in Learning Experience from The Business of Fashion.
