London Campus
Based in the trendy district of Shoreditch in east London, students will find plenty on offer beyond the lecture rooms. The area has risen from the rubble of old factories and has become a vibrant centre for different styles and cultures – and the capital's fashionistas. The institution has a global perspective, with almost half of its students coming from overseas and its Milan roots make it a perfect choice for those who want to deepen their knowledge of Italian fashion. Bursaries Istituto Marangoni London offers a comprehensive package of financial support, ranging from £1,500 bursaries to fully funded scholarships. These are awarded according to academic achievement and are aimed at students with potential to excel in their studies. With strong links in the industry, the London campus prides itself on opening vocational doors for students. In 2011 more than 100 internships and jobs with major European fashion houses were secured. Providing quality education, from experienced and well-connected teachers and industry specialists, is equally important. In April 2012 the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, which reviews the performance of universities, identified five points of good practice at the London campus, including: consistent contemporary professional practice; focused staff development; and tailored careers support, including organised internships after graduation. Students attend the London school from all over the UK, as well as overseas. "It doesn't matter where our students come from," says Parry Roberts. "And they don't need fashion experience. We teach them how to be industry-ready from scratch. "Our students appreciate the intellectual aspects of fashion and Italian values, such as a passionate work ethic. They won't necessarily know what role they want to play when they start; they'll reflect on their individual talent as they progress, keeping an open mind." One scholarship is being offered on each of Istituto Marangoni's three BA honours degree courses (awarded by Manchester Metropolitan University). These are Fashion Business, Fashion Design and Fashion Styling. "Our business degree focuses on the creative side of business, as well as figures," Parry Roberts explains. "Our design course is for people who look beyond fame; our students have worked with the likes of Lady Gaga, but they appreciate that knowledge is more important than celebrity. "The Fashion Styling degree was launched in Milan 10 years ago. It's an exciting course because it's technical and highly creative – stylists are working their way up to the helm of fashion houses." Parry Roberts says he wants to hear from scholarship applicants with opinions and an interesting story to tell. "Perhaps they've worked in an unrelated field, or done a bizarre set of A-Levels," he adds.
