IED has launched an April intake for a selection of Master’s Programs in Fashion, offering Italian and international students the opportunity to begin their Master’s journey with a distinctive and powerful start.

April is the ideal time to arrive in Milan and fully immerse yourself in a creative, dynamic, and highly inspirational environment. As spring begins, the city comes alive with energy, innovation, and cultural exchange, creating the perfect setting for students ready to step into the professional world.

During this month, Milan becomes the global spotlight for international media thanks to the iconic Milan Design Week and Fuorisalone. For one extraordinary week, the city speaks the language of design and innovation through a rich program of events, talks, installations, and exhibitions spread across its most vibrant districts.

For Master’s students, this means more than attending events: it means gaining first-hand exposure to innovation beyond the classroom. Milan Design Week offers unique opportunities to connect with professionals and creatives, engage with leading brands and institutions, and experience the industry ecosystem in real time, all at once.

Starting your Master’s in April means entering Milan at its most influential moment, where education, creativity, and industry converge to give your academic journey a truly strong beginning.
