An internationally recognised academic award
NABA is a non-state Institute, which is legally recognised by the
Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) and
issues the Bachelor of Arts Honours award (three-year course)
and the Master of Arts award (two-year course). The diplomas
awarded are valid in all European Countries and in all Countries
outside Europe that have a bilateral agreement with Italy on recognition
of academic qualifications.
Teaching staff
All members of staff are successful artists and designers, bringing their experience and
knowledge from the professional work sphere to the academy, and enabling
students to excel under their guidance. Over the years, NABA has also
collaborated with some of the most prestigious brands in the design
industry: Alcantara, Coveri, Fiat Auto, Fiera Milano International, Guzzini,
Krizia, La Perla, L’Oréal, Luxottica, Max Mara, Miss Sixty, Frau,
Swarovski.
Twenty-five years of activity
NABA - Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti was formed in 1980 around a group of
internationally renowed artists: Gianni Colombo, Lucio del Pezzo, Emilio Tadini,
Guido Ballo. It was in fact Guido Ballo who wanted to give it the definition
“Nuova”(New) to indicate its innovative spirit geared towards
“experimental manual skills and design”. NABA was founded in
Milan, recognised capital of fashion, advertising, publishing and
design and is located in the historical Navigli area of Milan. This
is one of the loveliest and liveliness districts of the city. The
premises are inside a late nineteenth century industrial complex
that has recently been refurbished and has considerable
architectural value.

Location: Milan
The city of Milan is synonymous
with cutting edge fashion and
design. It is the heart of modern
Italy. Surrounded by a centuries old
environment it also provides an
outstanding opportunity for students
to explore the possibilities of tomorrow
within the context of an evolving European/world
culture. Milan is the place to attend international events,
exhibitions and trade fairs such as the International Furniture
Fair. The creative industries, embracing international Design
studios, cool hunting agencies, communication and graphic
design companies, television production companies, theatres, art
galleries, museums and industrial production, make Milan a unique
place to experience creativity and understand production processes.
Milan’s central location provides easy access to major Italian cities such as
Rome, Florence and Venice, while La Scala theatre and Leonardo da Vinci’s Last
Supper are just two of the historical sites that are easily accessible from NABA.
Disciplinary Areas
NABA training programs are contained by four areas: Visual Arts, Communication,
Design and Restoration. The three-year BA Hons degree programs are: Visual
Arts, Design, Fashion and Textile Design, Graphic Design and Art Direction,
Media Design and Theatre Design. A three-year degree program in Restoration
is being planned, in addition to two-year specialisation programs (Master
of Arts) in the Design, Fashion Design, Communication and Visual Arts
areas. A two-year professional program in Restoration is offered in
collaboration with the Accademia Italiana di Restauro.
Besides University degree level and specialisation programs, NABA
offers Certificate Programs which are open programs, available for
one academic semester or academic year and Summer programs
held in English in the subjects of Interior Design, Industrial Design,
Fashion Design and Graphic Design.
Area Visual Arts
4
BA Hons Visual Arts provides training in a wide
range of artistic techniques, allowing for individual
experimentation and the reconsideration of a traditional
academic approach. Students are encouraged to investigate
the relationship between a work of art and the artistic process and
the relationship between art and design. The program retains the
central role of painting and proposes numerous technical and disciplinary
approaches that extend to sculpture, video art, photography, and
cinema. Special emphasis is set on the social dimension of the visual
arts.
Area Communication
BA Hons Graphic Design and Art Direction trains undergraduates for
positions in the graphic design and advertising sectors (graphic designer, art
director, multimedia director, web designer). Students learn the techniques
and methods of free hand and computer aided representation, form creation,
icons and communicative solutions for graphic design projects, advertising
and digital animation. The program offers an alternative to university
courses in this field as it focuses on the development
of technical design skills and a cultural approach.
6
BA Hons Media Design trains professional figures for the performing arts
and film sectors (writers, audiovisual directors, creators and developers of
animations, screenplays, characters and digital visual effects for the
cinema, television, and the performing arts). The designer responsible
for Media Design is given solid theoretical bases that function as a
matrix to delineate professional skills toward the electronic arts (video,
multimedia, 3D modeling and animation) and in the production and
post-production cinema and television sector.
Area Design
BA Hons Design offers a training program relating to the wide-ranging themes
of design culture and the professional fields of product, interior and
exhibition design. The course aims to provide the essential technical
and methodological tools (ergonomics, modeling, design, cad),
which enable students to build an informed response to the
evolving needs of the professional world and capably take
up positions in companies and studios, supporting the
design and production of objects, spaces and interiors.
8
BA Hons Theatre Design trains a professional figure that works alongside
the director, costume designer, light designer and craftspeople that create an
artistic product, in many different sectors, but constantly require a strong
methodology and expertise. The program aims to train the student for work that
involves conceptual and creative preparation but also demands practical sensibility
and crafting ability. The combination of cultural-historical study and practical work
is enriched by the possibility to gain real experience in the field.
BA Hons Fashion and Textile Design offers a
complete university level training program in the field through
the development of technical design skills and artistic cultural
sensitivity. The program deals with all aspects of the textile clothing
“system”: from a deep knowledge of materials to applied creativity in textile design;
from style creation and modeling techniques, to the design of a collection and the
accessory. The professional profile of this figure is that of a stylist and creative director
that can work in fashion house design offices (prêt-à-porter, high fashion), showrooms,
textiles-clothing production companies, sartorial studios, design and production
studios.
