The SUMAS campus at BASE Milan will offer the same
internationally recognised (ACBSP) undergraduate and graduate programs as SUMAS Switzerland, with the addition of first hand
local fashion and design market experience.
"We are proud and delighted to
announce this exciting step in our international growth strategy," says
SUMAS President and Founder, Dr. Ivana Modena. “It will create the perfect
environment for international students to work together, share ideas, and
complete practical projects related to fashion, art, design, business and
sustainability. It will also provide students global transfer opportunities
between Switzerland and Italy during their studies.”
The campus is set to be a hub for activity, including:
●
a fashion laboratory
for student practical classes on campus
●
a music recording
studio for aspiring music artists
●
campus accommodation
for students
●
a student lounge and
recreational facilities
●
an onsite bistro
●
regular activities, seminars and events taking place every week related to
sustainability and other cultural topics such as fashion, music and art
●
MUDEC (museum of cultural arts) and Google are also
located on the campus
Considering that Milan is the fashion capital of the
world, the campus is especially suited for those with interest / seeking a
career in sustainable fashion. In addition to the sustainable fashion
management programs that SUMAS offers, studying at the Base Milan campus will
provide access to many important networking initiatives and invaluable
practical experiences. Brands that have recently taken part in events at BASE
Milan include Montcler, Gucci and Timberland.
The Base Milan campus is, however,
not only for those with an interest in Sustainable Fashion. Milan is rapidly
transitioning into more of a green city with a number of of sustainable
developments taking place. This makes Milan an exciting city to study sustainability
in general with many SUMAS courses to choose from.

About Base Milan:
BASE is a project for
cross-pollination between the arts, enterprises, technology and social
innovation. Located within the ex-Ansaldo complex, one of the most important
urban regeneration projects in Europe, BASE is breathing new life into a
monument of industrial architecture, exploring new models of collaboration

Council to a private, non-profit social enterprise, the self-financed outcome
of a union between five different charities and businesses.
