Istituto Europeo di Design is an international school of higher education for Design, Fashion, Visual Communi-cation and Management of creative disciplines. Establi-shed in 1966, long before the blossoming of the Univer-sities of design in Italy, its pragmatic, culturally rich model instantly made it a strikingly innovative institu-tion. Occupying a middle ground between the limitations on purely vocational schools and absolute academic abstraction, IED is the achievement of its founder and current President Francesco Morelli’s farsighted intui-tion, which he expressed in the synthesis of “knowle-dge and know-how”, the underlying thinking behind the IED project. Today, IED is an international university-level network with seats in Italy, Spain and Brazil. Starting from China, IED is now about to expand its international presence, paying special attention to the rising star countries of the new economy and continuing to pursue its constant-ly evolving cultural and entrepreneurial project. The Environment, Sustainability, Art, the Excellences of Made in Italy and the New Media are just some of the professional scenarios targeted by the new training cour-ses available at IED.

HistoryEven if IED keeps its Italian cultural matrix, nowadays it is also considered an international school, a place of culture and training with seats in Milan, Rome, Turin, Venice, Florence, Cagliari, Como, Madrid, Barcelo-na, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The school organi-zes three-year post-graduate courses, specialization and professional development courses, advanced training courses and masters.Since 1966 IED has developed an innovative didactic methodology focused on the synergy between techno-logy and experimentation, and based on creativity, on the development of cross-disciplinary projects and inte-grated communication strategies, and on the different aspects of the market as well as on the new job profiles. A methodology nourished and enriched by the constant dialogue with professionals coming from all fields and working as teachers at IED.IED is member of different international academic insti-tutions and associations, among which Cumulus (Desi-gn Educational Network co-funded under the Erasmus section of the Socrates Program), ELIA (Europe-an League of Institutes of the Arts), IAA (International Advertising Association), FIYTA, IIE, EAIE and MEC-Bra-zil. Moreover, it signed partnership and student exchan-ge agreements with more than 40 of the most important universities in 21 countries around the world.

Vision In an increasingly globalized world, IED is positioned as the international school of higher education for all the creative professions, with a special focus on all the diffe-rent and latest adaptations of design. IED aims at contri-buting to the wealth generated by cultural exchanges between Nations, and at respecting diversity in nature and in the environment to train responsible future citi-zens of the world.

MissionTo develop our students’ creative talent by providing them with the conceptual, design and organisational tools they need to be proficient, competitive professio-nals in an interconnected world that presents increasin-gly arduous challenges.

Ever since its foundation, the mission and objectives that have driven the training experience at IED have remained unchanged. Every day, our training model builds new value on constructive confrontation, exchange and relations between business enterprises operating on a local and regional scale and internationally, communities of profes-sionals and the young people who represent the future. This is a virtuous relationship, based on students’ readiness and commitment to grow and learn through an unprecedented experience.Every year, almost 100 companies collaborate in training IED students in different ways so that they can access the job market.Research projects, creative competitions, workshops, special projects are the most common methodologies used in the IED-companies relationship. These are great oppor-tunities for the students to establish study and comparison relationships aimed at work and to participate in the society as full members of it.Thanks to its enlarged network including studies, compa-nies, institutions and partner universities, IED is not only a training institute but also an incubator for its studen-ts where they develop their business skills, as well as a showcase highlighting their talents.

IED Master CoursesA IED Master is mainly an experience which allows those who attend it to be absorbed in conceptual and project territories extending far beyond the premises and the rooms in which they are hosted. IED Master Courses have a flexible structu-re in terms of contents and are able to respond more effecti-vely to those who wish to excel both in creativity and mana-gement. The Master Courses are based on the principles of Italian design: spirit of curiosity and initiative, will of change scenarios thanks to technical skills and creativity.Conceived together with companies, IED Master Courses prepare students to face the labour market and to build their own professional identity combining different fields of know-ledge.According to the different levels of in-depth examinations, attendance, participants and length, IED Master Courses are divided into:

Professional Study Program The Master Professional provides know-how and tools to be used in professional activities. The Master Courses, either full time or part-time based, have three main goals: to provi-de methodological, technical, cultural and design tools rela-ted to the different professions; to develop the ability of applying what has been learned; and to manage the project complexity. Career prospects are focused on companies, design studios, and agencies. In particular, the professional profile could be that of a senior expert with both theoretical and practical significant skills, or of a manager, with a strong multidisciplinary approach, responsible for the development and integration of new products.

Research Study Program The Master Research aims at giving a correct methodology for both basic and applied research. The program intends to enhance and implement the ability of choosing, according to one’s own attitudes and professional goals, the most suitable education path and additional subjects, leaving space for experimentation, research and free exploration.

Advanced Study ProgramASP are short courses with different levels, from specialized training to advanced professional training, delivered either full time or part time. They are particularly appropriate for professionals wishing to develop their skills and to deal with the ever-changing needs of the production context from both a technical and creative perspective.

After meeting those students who successfully end their lear-ning pathway, Career Service submits portfolios to potentially interested external companies, arranges the selection inter-views aimed at activating stages (or training periods), colla-borations, and field projects, and ensures constant suppor-ting and monitoring activities.During the study pathway, IED trains students and provides them with the techniques and tools required to write their CVs, to tackle a selection interview, to realize their personal projects portfolio.The stage (or training period) is conceived as an on-site lear-ning and training period at one of the companies collabo-rating with IED. This period – lasting from 2 to 6 months - allows the students to apply the acquired tools and knowle-dge to a real professional project.Instead of a stage, students can be involved in a Field Project, i.e. a consulting project or an individual or group collabora-tion led by a teacher who acts as project tutor. The teacher supports the team in managing the company-customer rela-tionships, in developing the project, in preparing the final report and in presenting the results to the company in a real professional situation.Career Service IED manages the activation activity and if the selection interview is successful it monitors the training period.

IED Firenze High Tech / High Craft

IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) is a professionalizing institution offering education programs in different locations, the IED Florence campus is a hot spot for International and Italian students alike. Florence is the focal point of the Italian renaissance and home to an incre-dible cultural, artistic and architectural patrimony. The IED campus is located in Florence’s wonderful city center being only a moment away from the monumental landmark- Duomo di Firenze. This location allows our students to experience the amazing fast-paced city life of Florence as well as a professional, dynamic and interdisciplinary atmosphere that surrounds our students.Tuscany is usually known for its gorgeous landscapes rather than its companies but it is in fact one of the most active areas in Italy for Design, Fashion and Communication. There are several industrial areas such as the Leather district of Santa Croce, the Textile district in Prato, the Carra-ra Marble mines, the Crystal companies of Val d’Elsa, the Nautical indu-stry of Versilia and the Bricks of Impruneta. Companies such as Gucci, Ferragamo, Roberto Cavalli, Emilio Pucci, Prada and many others choose to produce their lines in Tuscany and make it the heart of “Made in Italy” products. The IED Florence curriculum is tailored to Florence’s and Tuscany’s regio-nal resources with the goal to make IED the school of excellence for high technology and craftsmanship. In every field, be it Visual Arts, Design, Fashion or Management, the school offers educational programs meant to integrate the regions know-how with new technologies: a mix of “hand made” and insightful innovation.The IED experience is unique in that it offers face-to-face professional interaction to every student. IED ensures for all students to get a real sense of the professional working world giving students them the oppor-tunity to actually work with real companies located in Florence and Tuscany and providing them with the best exposure to their area of inte-rest. Students are thus motivated, inspired, and successful during their study experience.

Alongside the professional relations IED Florence provides students are also given the opportunity to interact with Italian students. This allows our students a perfect exposure to the beautiful Italian culture, langua-ge, and work-task at hand. Having a huge range of students from all over the world makes the IED Florence campus a fun, active, and unforgettable learning experience. The ability to create such a professional and educational environment for IED Students comes from our well renowned faculty who work in the Desi-gn world. This allows our students to create wonderful connections with the professors creating a very open learning atmosphere. IED Florence strives to provide students with the best capability to beco-me great professionals by stimulating them to produce great work, under-stand time commitment, interact with companies on a professional level, and be exposed to Italian culture.

IED Firenze Master CoursesIED Master Courses have a flexible structure in terms of contents and are able to respond more effectively to those who wish to excel both in crea-tivity and management. The Master Courses are based on the principles of Italian design: spirit of curiosity and initiative, will of change scenarios thanks to technical skills and creativity.Visiting the labs, the study areas, and the technological infrastructu-res, and living the atmosphere that makes the training experience at IED unique is the first step to understand the world of the post-graduate trai-ning. Fix an interview so that you can visit the school premises and see the projects of those who chose the pathway you are interested in and who are now working as professionals in Italy and abroad.
