The global fashion news website Business of Fashion has presented their new ranking of best fashion schools in the world 2019 and IED is one of them.

For this year, they have removed the numerical ranking and moved to Badges of Excellence which recognise a school’s strengths in four key areas/ indices: Best OverallBest in Global Influence (a school’s global reputation and influence), Best in Learning Experience (student experience while in school) and Best in Long-Term Value (student preparedness for the real world).

The ranking is fuelled by a rigorous methodology and input from leading experts on a newly formed BoF Education Council. IED had received the following Badges of Excellence:

– Best Overall, Best Global Influence and Best Long-term Value for the Undergraduate Degree in Fashion Design and BA (Hons) in Fashion Design.

– Best Global Influence for the BA (Hons) Fashion Marketing & Communication.

– Best Long-term Value for the Master in Fashion Marketing & Communication and Master in Fashion Management.
