It gives access to international guest lectures and includes two field trips within the Florentine brand, including a flagship store. Throughout the 9 months of study students work on two main projects, a Mid-term Project and a Final Project, which will form part of their portfolio that can then be used when applying for internship and job opportunities.
Lessons take place from April to December, and amount to a total of 700 contact hours. There is the possibility of completing the course with an internship at Guccior within Gucci’s network, leading to the overall obtainment of 80 credits. English language proficiency and attendance are required. Candidates will be selected after an enrolment questionnaire and an interview with the course’s leading teacher.
