Raffles Milano | International Design Institute

The Product Design bachelors at Raffles Milano has been a really great experience for me. The classes are practical, modern, and connected to real work in the design world. I like that we don’t only study theory, but also work on real projects that help us understand how the industry works. The teachers are professionals, and they are very friendly and always ready to help. They really motivate us to be creative and think in new ways. The atmosphere at the school is international and inspiring. The studios are well-equipped, so we can try different materials, tools, and ideas. During the course, I learned a lot about my own style and how to improve my projects step by step. Overall, I feel that the Product Design program at Raffles Milano prepared me well for the future. I enjoyed my time there and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to grow as a designer.

Raffles Milano is not only a leading university for fashion and design but also genuinely values its partners. During our visit for the Talk Career Beginnings and Students’ Portfolio Night, we saw firsthand the care they put into creating meaningful experiences for both students and partners. Special thanks to Elena Sacco for leading such a well-organized and inspiring event, and to Jacopo Manganiello for ensuring partners like PRODIREKT and Verbalists Education had a productive and engaging experience. Their professionalism, openness, and dedication make our collaboration rewarding...qualities that are essential in today’s ever-challenging study abroad industry.

I am from India and I graduated in 2025 from the Interior Design course at Raffles Milano. During the program we worked on many practical projects which helped me understand how interior concepts are developed and presented. One of the best parts was studying in Milan, where design and architecture are everywhere and constantly inspiring. The campus is beautiful and the overall environment is very creative. It was one of the best experiences I chose for my career 🙏🏻 Now I run my own business in my hometown and after a few years I am thinking of coming back to pursue my masters :)

Sono un ex studente del corso di Branding di Raffles Milano e posso dire con sincerità che questa esperienza ha avuto un impatto profondo sia sulla mia crescita personale che professionale. Raffles mi ha dato l’opportunità di sviluppare un pensiero critico, una visione strategica e una consapevolezza reale del mondo del branding e della comunicazione. Il percorso è stato completo, strutturato e arricchito dal confronto continuo con professionisti e aziende di alto livello, attive nel settore. Grazie a loro ho acquisito competenze concrete, metodo e sicurezza, fino al punto di sentirmi pronto a lanciarmi nella mia esperienza imprenditoriale. Oggi sto raggiungendo opportunità che, senza Raffles e il suo hub di professionisti, difficilmente avrei potuto immaginare o costruire. Non è solo un istituto: è un ambiente che ti spinge a capire chi sei, cosa sai fare davvero e come trasformarlo in valore nel mondo reale.

Ho avuto modo di visitare la scuola per un corso che vorrebbe fare mia figlia. Mi hanno seguito e spiegato tutto nei particolari. Hanno risposto alle mie domande, anche quelle più ostiche. Ho avuto modo di parlare con gli studenti che si sono rivelati entusiasti. Grazie 🩵

Impressive quality of project works , very creative atmosphere, Companies partners are real, students growing in a truly international environment, job placement at the top, in conclusion: a very different and unusual school in Milano for design. a hidden gem.

I flew from India to pursue the Master’s in Branding at Raffles, and it’s been a genuinely rewarding experience. With the guidance of our course director, Elena Sacco, we’ve had real exposure to agencies, current case studies, and hands-on work that makes the learning feel very practical and relevant

- Short course in Beauty & Cosmetics Management - Esperienza molto positiva, bravi tutti! Dai ragazzi che lavorano in Raffles alla nostra docente Serena Roberti. Consiglio assolutamente questo istituto per professionalità, disponibilità e organizzazione!

Ambiente top e atmosfera super internazionale. I professori sono tutti professionisti del settore e le lezioni sono molto pratiche e permettono di interagire approfonditamente con i docenti, cosa che raramente ho visto in altre realtà.

I studied the 3-year Bachelor in Fashion Design at Raffles Milano, and it was a very meaningful experience for me. The classes were small, which gave us more personal interaction with the teachers, many of whom are active professionals in the industry. We worked on several hands-on projects that challenged us to think creatively and practically, which really helped me build confidence and skills: 😊 What I appreciated most was the international environment and the chance to learn in Milan itself. It wasn’t always easy, but looking back, I feel it prepared me well for the professional world 💯

I came from India to study a masters in Visual Deisgn in Raffles Milano, in the beginning it was very difficult for me, but all the teachers and professors were amazing!! In the end because of Jerika and the career service of raffles Milano helped me a lot in finding an internship!!

Ho frequentato il corso breve di Beauty and Cosmetics Management a Settembre del 2024 e posso dire di essere stata estremamente soddisfatta. Un percorso formativo breve ma intenso che ha dato la possibilità a tutti gli studenti di acquisire delle conoscenze pratiche e teoriche attraverso lezioni mirate con professionisti del settore. Un grazie speciale va all’Istituto Raffles e a Serena, la nostra docente del corso. Consiglio vivamente questo corso a chi vuole approcciarsi al mondo del beauty e conoscere le bellissime dinamiche che lo contraddistinguono.

I had an amazing teaching experience at Raffles Milano. The environment is creative, dynamic, and deeply international, with a real emphasis on innovation and forward-thinking design. The students were engaged, curious, and open-minded, which made the exchange of ideas incredibly enriching. The staff was extremely supportive and professional, providing all the resources needed to deliver a high-quality experience. It’s a place that truly values education and pushes both students and faculty to grow. I’d gladly return anytime!

I’m writing this review to share my deeply frustrating and disappointing experience with Raffles Milano, in hopes of helping future students avoid what I went through. In December 2023, I applied for their Interior Design course, fresh out of high school. The program was advertised as a 3-year course, and I naturally assumed it was a bachelor’s degree, especially given the time, cost, and structure involved. At no point during the application process, nor in any of the files or emails they sent me, was it made clear that the course is not accredited. I read everything carefully multiple times and even after enrolling, I double-checked the website and documents countless times. There is absolutely no transparency on this crucial point. Trusting them, I moved to Milan around October/November 2024, leaving my country, family, and investing heavily in housing and living expenses not to mention the full tuition for the year, which I paid upfront. I studied for two months before finding out, through confused classmates (who also had no idea), that our course was not officially recognized. I immediately contacted the school to withdraw and request a refund for the remaining months I would no longer attend. After a series of back-and-forth emails, they eventually stopped replying altogether. My last message was in March 2025, and I have yet to receive a response. I’ve essentially been ghosted by the institution. Due to their lack of transparency, I lost a whole year of my academic life, not to mention the emotional and financial toll it took. This kind of vital information about accreditation should be front and center on their website and the first thing they disclose to potential students, especially those moving from abroad. Raffles had nearly a year (from December 2023 to October 2024) to be honest and upfront. They weren’t.

the final sfilata of our fashion design course was a dream! love you Raffles Milano, best experience, ready to rock in the fashion world!

I studied the Master in Branding at Raffles Milano, and what stood out to me was the direct exposure to real industry dynamics. Instead of just lectures, we worked on live briefs with well-known brands, which pushed me to think strategically and creatively at the same time. The professors treated us more like young professionals than just students, which was both challenging and motivating. The program gave me a clearer vision of how branding works, and I left with not only new skills but also the confidence!

Mi sono appena laureata in Product Design presso Raffles Milano e non potrei essere più soddisfatta della mia esperienza. È stato un percorso che mi ha fatta crescere non solo a livello professionale, ma anche personale. Grazie ai professori preparati e appassionati e a tutto il personale sempre disponibile, ho avuto l’opportunità di migliorarmi costantemente e affinare le mie competenze nel design. Il supporto del Career Service mi ha permesso di trovare lavoro immediatamente dopo la laurea. Consiglio vivamente questa scuola a chiunque voglia intraprendere una carriera nel design con una formazione solida e stimolante!
