APPROACH LEARNING BY DOINGThe Academy was founded in Milan in 1980 upon the private initiative of Ausonio Zappa, Guido Ballo and Gianni Colombo; its objective always was to challenge the rigid academic tradition and introduce visions and languages that are closer to contemporary artistic practices and to the system of arts and creative professions.

Over the past 30 years, NABA has refined a proven instructional method that thoroughly integrates classroom study with experiential

workshop practice. Our multidisciplinary approach combines traditional visual disciplines with new digital technologies and synthesizes individual study with group project work.

We establish numerous collaborations and projects with Italian and international companies and institutions to give students hands-on workplace opportunities to develop their critical thinking, conceptual problem-solving, and practical artistic and design skills.

AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS ACCREDITED BY THE ITALIAN MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY AND RESEARCHNABA is unique among all Italian art and design academies.

DESIGN

three year bachelor of arts

Inspired by a “learning by doing” philosophy, the three-year BA in Design alternates and integrates theoretical studies with experiential workshops.

During the program, students are challenged by progressively more demanding tests and exercises as they hone their conceptual and technical skills. This accelerates their education and experience and exposes them to the many roles for designers today.

After exploring basic concepts and techniques, students learn to observe the multitude of contemporary forms of design and apply them in their work. The program aims to stimulate sensitivity and passion for the world of objects, understood as cultural artifacts that reflect and shape human life. It explores space as an environment, examining its interactions with objects and its function as a stage for individual and collective rituals.

learning objectives

During the three-year BA in Design, students will have the opportunity to:

› Gain the cultural and scientific competencies to define design problems and the technical competencies to solve them

› Develop the ability to anticipate contexts of use, translate these into typological and formal solutions, and determine aspects of marketing and distribution

› Learn how to use tools and techniques relating to interior and product design, from manual drawing to digital modelling

› Competencies regarding languages and artistic and visual cultures


The three-year BA in Design equips students with the necessary fundamentals to either continue their studies or enter the world of professional design. The program helps students gain the sensitivity necessary to handle the requirements of the contemporary design world and its demands regarding the design of objects, spaces, and services. Areas of competency include product design, interaction design, interior design, installation design and new technologies, service design, and social design.

In the two-year MA in Design, Specialization Product Design, students prepare to become professionals by analyzing scenarios and designing or re-designing objects through developing an experiential and physical relationship with them.

Thanks to their continuous interaction with lecturers and professionals, students become well-rounded designers, able to direct all stages of product development, including the initial idea, design strategy, materials research, and actual production.

learning objectives

During the two-year MA in Design, Specialization Product Design, students will have the opportunity to:

› Learn a contemporary approach to design founded on the Italian design culture

› Investigate and design new relationships between people, environment, and objects

› Decipher and analyze new reference scenarios

INTERIOR DESIGN120 credits • Course Leader: Luca Poncellini


Throughout recent decades, interior spaces have played an increasingly important role in our individual and collective environments. The “interior” space is substance, living matter.Entering into it does not mean entering an empty space but becoming part of a large body. Interior design activates and enlivens the complex public buildings within our contemporary cities and gives meaning to public spaces, which represent the interior of the city itself.

The program is characterized by its extensive workshops, in which students face challenging design tasks that are developed from an interdisciplinary perspective under the supervision of a small team of professors, each responsible for a distinct aspect of the project.

The program develops specific technical and methodological approaches to domestic spaces. The theoretical courses examine the historical and the present scenarios of Italian design and include research in the field of cultural innovation. Finally, the creative workshops, in which students engage in practical design projects, are led by outstanding personalities in the fields of interaction design, communication design, and exhibition design.

learning objectives

During the two-year MA in Design, Specialization Interior Design, students have the opportunity to:

› Explore the limits and constraints of the world of interior design, widening their knowledge, critical awareness, empirical and creative thinking skills

› Develop a solid empirical design thinking and a conscious methodological approach for their future professional career

› Design how humans live, work, and communicate through interior spaces, over two years of intense interior space exploration, in the exceptionally stimulating and creative environment of the city of Milan.

Among the projects selected, Riccardo Scaburri's work was chosen as a result of the optimal equilibrium shown between Max Mara's language and values in the past and current interpretations of the same.

Three of the students who participated in the design and creation of the capsule collection were given the opportunity to complete a six-month internship at the company, in its style office.

The BA in New Technologies for Applied Arts - Digital Production, alongside NABA BA in Media Design and Multimedia Arts, completes the Academy’s educational proposals in the multimedia arts sector. The course, in fact, has been conceived to train three types of professional figures, respectively in the fields of motion graphics, 3D design and animation, and game development.

Over the three years students will complete design work and participate in workshops to gain an insight into the common features of these subjects (during the first year in particular) and will then specialise in the application of one subject.

At the end of their studies, graduates will be ready to either begin their professional careers in the chosen field or embark on a two-years Master of Arts degree.

THEATRE AND EXHIBIT DESIGN


For more than three decades, NABA’s three-year BA in Set Design has integrated theoretical and critical studies with technical and practical work. From its launch, this program has been enriched through opportunities for students to gain significant experience in the field. The BA program teaches theoretical, technical, and practical aspects of subjects such as scenography, theatre design, theatre costuming, and lighting.

More recently, new transversal courses in other disciplines, such narratology, and performing arts complete student training. These are arts with broad boundaries: everything required for a performance (theatre, film, television) or a spectacular event can be defined as “scenography.”

Students gain theoretical knowledge and techniques that enable them to organise their artistic production processes and learn to work in a team. They develop skills with 2D and 3D design programs and audiovisual media in addition to various painting and graphical representation techniques. Students learn to make artifacts such as scenery, props, and costumes. They acquire computer and organisational skills, both through practical application in the field during various training experiences and through drawing up budgets, periodic reviews, and specifications.

learning objectives

During the three-year BA in Set Design, students have the opportunity to:

› Design scenography for theatre, television, and cinema

› Create exhibition installations for art, design, fashion, and other events

› Design and create costumes for plays, opera, musicals, and other shows

› Design the lighting of outdoor or indoor spaces for productions

› Organize theatrical and other events

› Provide assistance to art curators


The program offers a broad spectrum of specializations relating to theatre and cinema, television, and the creation of artifacts, scenery, costumes, lighting design, and installations for every performance-related activity. Scenographers can assist theatre directors, act as set designers or interior decorators of television and cinema sets, and design and create installations for events, art exhibitions, and fashion shows.

three year bachelor of arts

This three-year program acknowledges the contemporary transformations that are blurring the traditional borders between fine art disciplines in favor of a project-driven perspective that attempts to connect art to a broader social context.

The program reinterprets and expands a traditional academic approach to painting and visual arts. It includes instruction and experimentation with the full array of artistic techniques and media, encouraging students to conceive artistic works with the complete project in mind and with regard for the dynamics and values of contemporary art.

Students are guided through experimentation with a variety of environments, techniques, and methods, which support them in developing an individual way of expressing themselves and their personal artistic path.

The program was founded on the belief that the role of an artist is becoming more and more similar to that of a professional capable of playing various roles within contemporary aesthetic and social education, thereby carrying out functions that are connected with the worlds of production and communication. Besides creative skills, students are also encouraged to develop their skills with self-promotion and organization to gain easier access to the professional world.

THEATRE OF LEARNINGIn June 2015, students, together with leading figures in the history of performance and art, such as Joan Jonas, John Baldessari, Nanni Balestrini, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Yona Friedman, Piero Gilardi and Anna Maria Maiolino, in addition to visiting professors, including Ute Meta Bauer, Hou Hanru and Jens Hoffmann, were directly involved in the Theatre of Learning project, curated by Marco Scotini for NABA MA in Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies. Devised as a "learning platform", the project has used performative mechanisms in a pedagogical context as "in-depth exercises" to make and produce art.

NABA’s campus area was then transformed for an evening into a grand festival open to the public and to the city, during which a series of historical performances were staged for the first time or re-enacted. New ideas conceived by the invited artists were also performed, in addition to happenings, theatre animations, collective reading, live productions and actions.

As stated by Marco Scotini: "For years I have been attracted to the idea of repetition as conceived by Deleuze and the idea of a theatre of repetition. This idea is part of the DNA of performance. Performance is always "here and now", while referring to a "then" and "elsewhere". Repetition is never a return to something identical, but makes what is past still possible."

CAREER SERVICESThe NABA Career Service Office supports students and alumni through:

· The realization and development of their skills

· The construction of their career path

· The definition of Personal Branding tools thanks to a dedicated Career Coaching service

· The opportunity of internships in leading companies in the fields of art, design, fashion, graphic design, communication and multimedia entertainment

Students and alumni can find the perfect match with companies thanks to Darwinsquare, the on-line platform where students and alumni can showcase their curriculum vitae and portfolio, and where companies can advertise internships and placements and select the profiles best fitting their requirements.

Every year, the NABA Career Service Office organizes the Talent Harbour Week, an initiative on campus that offers students and alumni the occasion to receive a market update in their fields of interest. During the event, well-known companies share their experiences and offer the possibility to take part in job interviews.

AND AFTERWARDS? HOW MANY STUDENTS FIND A JOB?Every year, the NABA Career Service Office conducts a comprehensive and certified market research on employment figures of NABA graduates from all relevant areas. The latest research was performed by Ipsos Observer, international market research company operating in 88 countries

ALUMNIWHO DO OUR STUDENTS WORK FOR?Our graduates leave with the rich, relevant experiences and the advanced portfolios they need to launch their careers in the design and art fields of their choice.

Today, NABA former students are collaborating in some of the leading companies and institutions in Italy and abroad: Alcantara, Armani, Costume National, Jil Sander, Marni, Miroglio Fashion, Pirelli (PZero), The Swatch Group and Trussardi.

They are setting new trends as innovators in product, fashion, interior, landscape, and graphic design. They’re working as advertising and communications creative directors, art directors, and filmmakers. They’re pushing the limits of interactive and new media design. They’re producing, writing, and directing throughout the TV and film production industries. And they’re creating groundbreaking visual and theatre arts throughout Europe and the world.

The first association of NABA former students was established in 2012 to help NABA alumni develop their professional careers while stimulating exchange and discussion areas for them to stay in contact, widen their network of contacts, and share their personal achievements.

"My two years spent at NABA were a great chance for me to get exposed to a variety of different aspects of design, connect with amazing professionals and create strong relationships with other students that helped me to grow both as a designer and as a person."Giulio Pastacaldi MA in Communication Design former student

UX DESIGNER GOOGLE

"Creating fantasy worlds poised precariously between real life and the imaginary has always fascinated me. The BA in Set Design at NABA has enabled me to further my creativity and has provided me with the necessary design tools to bring my ideas to life. It has also given me the competence to take on a complex job, such as my work at the Scala Theatre, where I help great directors give concrete expression to their imagination."Laura GalmariniBA in Set Design former student

LANGUAGE CENTREThe Language Centre at NABA has been opened to help students to improve their knowledge of English in order to obtain their language credits as part of their study plan. In order to support students in their learning process, the Language Centre organizes English courses, which are free of charge, at different levels which run either over a term or as intensive 4-week courses. It also organizes remedial courses for those students who want to attend the English programs but don’t have the necessary English level at the time of enrollment.

NABA runs English tests either to assess students who need to get their credits or for those students who can’t produce a recognized certificate before joining one of the English programs. The academy wants to stress the importance of English nowadays and therefore has made it part of the students’ curriculum in order to guarantee that students leaving the academy after their bachelor degree will all have a B1 level of English.

Bachelor of Arts Degree Programs – Admission Process for International StudentsADMISSION AND ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:

International students applying to attend our Bachelor of Arts Degree Programs are requested to go through an entry selection process. This helps NABA to assess each applicant’s motivation and potential for success in their chosen field of study. International applicants may choose one of the following assessment options:

› Distance evaluation based on the submission of an artistic statement and a project assignment for each specific BA program (see application form). This option is available at all times

Students wishing to enroll in one of our three-year Bachelor of Arts Degree Programs are required to:

› Hold a valid secondary school diploma that has to be validated by the Italian diplomatic authority present in the country where the diploma was obtained and that has been awarded after a period of study of at least 12 years. In case the local education system requires a University suitability test, this should be passed and verified in the official documents (Declaration of Value). Examples of countries with University suitability test: Selectividad in Spain, Gao Kao and Yi Kao in China, ÖSS in Turkey, CSAT in South Korea,...

› Prove their language proficiency:

— IELTS 5.0 Academic (or equivalent) for programs run in English

These programs offer the same curricula and exams as our Bachelor of Arts Degree Programs but lead to a private NABA Diploma instead of a Bachelor of Arts Degree.

To enroll in a NABA Diploma Program, students are required to submit a document verifying their previous studies. This document can be provided either in Italian or English and does not need to be validated by the Italian Embassy or Consulate. It is not necessary to provide a Declaration of Value.

Transfer applicants must demonstrate proficiency in the language of instruction of the chosen degree program:

– B1.2 level of Italian (according to CEFRL) for programs run in Italian

Once the assessment has been completed, applicants will receive a feedback about the final result including credits recognition for the acceptance and will be informed whether they have been accepted to attend either the second or third year at NABA.

Enrollment will be confirmed once the following documents have been submitted:

- University transcripts officially translated and legalized
