FRANCESCO MORELLI
founder and President, IED
“We established the Institute in 1966 on the basis of the idea that knowledge and know-how
should grow and mature together. Because we respect the logic both of the market and of the
finest of academic knowledge, we chose to espouse a more authentic, up-to-date culture of
design: so we devised, planned and built up the school of design. We now know what it means
to take an idea and nurture it until it comes to concrete fruition and that is what we teach to
young creatives from all over the world”.

CREATIVE
PASSION
IED: A CREATIVE WORKSHOP
A benchmark for higher education in the fields of Design, Fashion, Visual Communications
and Management in creative disciplines for more than forty years,
IED offers its students a distinct competitive edge and international experience that
accompanies them throughout their lives.
Students come to IED to enrol in its undergraduate courses, its Masters courses and its
advanced training courses, which are held in the local language and in English.
Recognising a History of Excellence
Our graduates and the brilliant positions of responsibility they occupy in the creative
professions and enterprise tell the story of the excellence generated by IED. It’s a success
story that has contributed to the majority of the courses achieving official recognition from
the Ministries of Education and of Research in the countries where the IED operates directly,
whose respective national legal systems provide for undergraduate courses lasting three
years in Italy and Brazil and four years in Spain.
IED has also signed agreements with several prestigious academic institutes to offer
double-branded courses at home and abroad, whose final diplomas are accredited by the
partner institutions. For the 2011-2012 academic year, the institutions are the University of
Westminster in London, the International University of Applied Science in Bad Honnef and the
Aldo Galli Academy in Como.

Academic Partnerships
IED is a member of several international academic bodies and associations (Cumulus, ELIA,
IAA, FIYTA, IIE, EIE and MEC-Brazil) and has signed partnerships and student exchange
agreements with more than 40 of the world’s leading universities in 21 countries. Building on
the extensive versatility of its academic curricula, it is capable of providing students with the
possibility to acquire experience in other accredited institutions or to study in another one of its
own campuses.
POWERING THE NETWORK
Established in many locations in Italy, Spain and Brazil, IED is the only private higher education
academic network operating in the area of design whose roots go deep into the authentic Italian
culture of creativity, while also drawing on invaluable input from all over the world and always
ensuring a holistic view of all the trends and innovations at work in these sectors.
The IED locations
The IED locations
Milan
Venice
Milan is the hub and the ultimate soul of
Made in Italy: it is the country’s economic
capital, the metropolis of fashion and design
and the cradle of Italy’s leading publishing
businesses. It is no coincidence that Milan
is also the birthplace of many of the world’s
leading contemporary designers.
The courses at the IED in Milan focus their
attention unerringly on research, on enterprise
and on communications.
Venice is the capital of culture and artistic
tourism, the benchmark for artists from
all over the world and researchers from
every background, a city with a setting of
unparalleled beauty and hospitality,
that provides a unique learning experience,
in a context that can only thrive in Venice.

ROME
Rome
RIO DE JANEIRO
SÃO PAULO
Rome has always been a crossroads of
cultures and nationalities, of social relations
and international events. Housed in a context
that constitutes an historical benchmark of
global significance, the IED school in Rome is
embedded in a strategic cultural panorama of
enormous prestige in the sectors of the visual
arts and of artistic production.
Turin
Turin has a well-established reputation as a
productive city in a constant state of cultural
ferment, featuring extensive experience with
new technologies and design for transportation.
IED Turin draws continuously on its contacts
with local and international manufacturing
industry, making a distinctive mark as a hub
of contemporary car design.
8>9
Florence
Florence can boast one of the world’s most
important artistic and cultural heritages,
but is also a city with a wealth of great craft
traditions, especially in the area of fashion and
accessories. Housed in a location of matchless
perfection for anyone who sets out to study
innovation and the contemporary arts, the
IED curriculum here focuses in particular on
valorising local resources and achieving a
meeting between cultures.
Cagliari
The natural bridge between Europe and the rest
of the Mediterranean basin, the IED’s school in
Cagliari is a place where cultures and traditions
meet in search of a new model of development
and cohabitation, exploring new forms of crossfertilisation between design, creativity, innovation
and business.

Madrid
São Paulo
Madrid is the throbbing heart of the Spanish
economy, the city where culture, art and
design meld directly with the country’s
entrepreneurialism. The main objective of the
IED courses held in this location is to train
professionals who will be able to move with
ease in continuously evolving contexts.
São Paulo is Latin America’s strategic
nerve centre, the benchmark for the entire
continent in the area of new trends in
fashion and design. The first IED school in
Brazil offers both a chance to get to know
the Made in Italy phenomenon and an
opportunity for it in a country experiencing
rapid economic growth.
Barcelona
Barcelona is an innovative international
metropolis, trendy by definition. Displaying a
characteristically profound sense of beauty
and a pronounced creative capacity, the
IED’s Barcelona school provides courses
rooted in an urban context that numbers
among the world’s best achievers in
balancing quality of life with a continuous
desire to improve and renew.

Rio de Janeiro
Best evidence of Brazilian design’s continuous
growth, Rio contends with São Paulo for the
laurels as Brazil’s cultural hub.
Every day, the newly-established IED school
draws on the city’s traditional excellence
in the sectors of the arts, of entertainment
and of fashion, which is now exported all
over the globe.
AN INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY BOARD
The purpose of IED’s International Advisory Board is to provide direction and a critical
conscience, together with an important benchmark support for every IED location’s activities.
The result of a major cultural project launched in 2010, which places the IED Group at the
epicentre of ideas and debate about the design community as a whole, the International
Advisory Board’s members are world personalities:
Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Laureate
Derrick de Kerckhove, new media theorist
Remo Bodei, philosopher
Richard Buchanan, business design theorist
Francisco Jarauta, philosopher
The International Advisory Board meets once every year to discuss topics of general interest,
with a special focus on the evolution of design’s role and how it is taught in society.
The experience that emerges from this debate is used to direct the Group’s cultural and
training activities and is transformed into didactic content, contributing to enriching the
background of IED’s lecturers and students alike.

PROFESSIONALS IN THE CLASSROOM
The IED’s international lecturing staff includes more than 1,800 professionals working actively
in specific fields, this enables them to provide their students with practical skills and a constant
flow of innovation.
Running right through their work is the idea that a purely academic background is not enough
to keep in step with the times when society is constantly evolving. By ensuring that they are kept
constantly aware of contemporary developments, students are not only able to consolidate their
theoretical knowledge base, but also benefit from a fruitful exchange with the real working world.
Guided by these sector experts, students attending IED take part in workshops, laboratories
and seminars, develop international and interdisciplinary projects and contribute to organising
events, getting to grips with concrete challenges and learning to manage their work competently
and independently.

RELATIONS WITH THE
BUSINESS CONTEXT
THE IED
RESEARCH CENTRE
High quality academic and professional
training is one of the essential drivers for
economic growth. If a society is to achieve
excellence in development, encourage
innovation and expand its research,
a partnership between academic structures,
private and public enterprises and istitutions
is crucial. Every year, more than 200 firms
partner in a variety of ways, both nationally
and internationally, with the process of
educating students at the Istituto Europeo
di Design.
The place where school meets enterprise
and research meets experimentation, the IED
Research Centre was established in 1975 to
launch an interactive relationship between
the business community and education.
Since its foundation, the Research Centre
has defined a new model of operations that
adapts to the evolution in markets and firms’
ever-changing needs. A creative team, made
up of researchers and designers with clear
specialisations, is behind an interdisciplinary
process that combines innovative experiences
with basic teaching. This interaction stimulates
participants to explore and conduct research
in innovative areas of design, contributing to
the expertise and excellence that distinguish
the various different IED locations.

LIVING @ IED
In every IED location, students have access
to a library, professional workshops and
computer laboratories equipped with the
latest hardware and software.
In their last year, students can also use the
Job Placement and Partnership Service that
not only helps them to get that all-important,
indispensable experience with one of the
IED’s partner firms, but also accompanies
them in the delicate phase of their first
approach to the working world.
The Information and Orientation Service, SIO
offers support to all students who want to
enrol in the courses, helping them understand
the professions, contexts and potential job
openings. The service provides information
about the school’s organisation and its course
contents, aims and attendance, as well as
about the selection and admission process.
For students from other countries or who do
not live in the city where they have chosen
to study, a special Student Desk provides a
first level of assistance to make it easier to
integrate with the local situation, providing
support in finding housing and accessing
affiliated services and structures.

SCHOLARSHIPS
and financial support
IED supports young creatives by practising
a policy of financial support for deserving
students who enrol in the three and four year
undergraduate courses, in the form of:
IED study scholarships covering part of
the tuition fee.
DSU study scholarships based on regional
norms (in Italy)
Zero-interest loans.
IED Scholarships
Every year, IED grants scholarships based on
merit to students from home and abroad who
have proved to be particularly deserving and
motivated.
DSU (Right to University Study)
Scholarships
IED promotes the undertakings that
contribute to improving student’s living and
study conditions. In particular, IED signed
an agreement with the Region of Lombardy
in 2011 to promote the Right to University
Study; as a result, it now provides to students
attending those of its courses, in the seats of
Milan and Rome, that are accredited by the
Italian Ministry of Education and Research
(Ministerial Decree 10/12/2010 N°292) the
facilitations and services whose purpose is to
implement the right to study, such as study
scholarships assigned and facilitations for
international mobility and exchanges.
ACADEMIC COURSES
AT IED
THE IED’S 4 SCHOOLS
The academic courses at IED are based
on Academic Credits and are geared to
provide students with a complete grounding
in their chosen subjects, combining an
undergraduate course with a postgraduate
(Masters) course. These courses are
structured to allow students to circulate
between IED network’s schools at home
and abroad, while maintaining parity of
qualifications.
To complete its Academic catalogue, IED also
offers Advanced Academic courses, Specialisation courses, Refresher courses and
Summer courses.
The theme of IED’s design learning space is
developed in its four schools, each of which
provides several different specialised schools:
IED Design, IED Moda, IED Visual
Communication and IED Management Lab.
United by the common denominator of design
culture and by the principles that inspire them,
they also share a versatile, cross-fertilising
approach that combines theory and practice
to develop specific profiles and competences.
The teaching method features an energetic
bond with the real world of manufacturing
industry, so that students can acquire
knowledge by a variety of means, including
through workshops and direct experience
with firms operating in their target sectors.
This profitable exchange with the business
community and continuous cross-reference
with the latest scenarios and trends in the
market for design enable students to put
themselves and their talents to the test of real
design projects commissioned by real firms.
As a result of this dual track of theory and
practice and the distinctive dynamic trait of
its educational undertaking, IED’s courses
can often be considered as trend anticipators
more than just in tune with the times.
THE CONTEXTS
OF DESIGN
All IED’s projects, schools and initiatives have
a common denominator: design, devised,
drawn up and applied in its every aspect,
its every form and its thousands of potential
meanings. At IED, we investigate Design as
a transformer of the objects and contents
of our everyday surroundings; Fashion
as a creator of new styles, imagining new
trends; Visual Communication in order to
speak the language of images, while moving
competently and creatively among future
scenarios; Management Lab to create new
ways of managing processes and creative
enterprises and ways of designing that go
beyond products, services and experiences.

STUDYING IN ITALY
IED Italy has seats in Milan, Rome, Turin, Venice, Florence and Cagliari. The school offer
includes Three Year BA Degrees, three year IED Diplomas and first year certificates, MAs and
summer courses. Ever since the early stages IED has developed innovative and diversified
teaching methodology, concentrated on the synergy between technology and experimentation,
creativity, strategies and integrated communication, market issues and a new form of
professionalism.
UNDERGRADUATE COURSES
Structured on the basis of three years curriculum and earning 180 academic credits,
the undergraduate academic courses have three aims: to impart knowledge about the
technologies, materials and culture of design; to teach the ability to understand the market and
its requirements; to communicate the quality of design.
The first year is devoted to learning the basic methodology needed for a correct approach
to any creative undertaking. In the following years, real client briefs provide the basis for
intensifying the design activities, which are also backed up by supervision from consultants
working in the specific sector. Each course includes a selection of professional specialisations
(Majors) that differ from campus to campus. These specializations allow students to draw from
the rich context offered by the schools’ environment.
Most of the courses held in the Milan and Rome campuses have achieved recognition from the
Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR) as First Level Academic Diplomas (Ministerial
Decree 10/12/2010 N°292) Three Year BA Degree.
The campuses in Florence and Venice offer a one-year Certificate diploma course, whose
curriculum contents correspond to the first years of the undergraduate courses.
