Master in Digital Fashion Communication

Admission

The formal requirement for admission to the MSc in Digital Fashion Communication is a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences, Communication Sciences, Business Administration, Fashion, Art, Literature, Tourism, or in similar domains, granted by a recognized university.

Candidates with a Bachelor's degree from a University of Applied sciences may be admitted with an additional requirement of 30-60 ECTS to be earned.

To ensure the optimal ratio between learners and the faculty, the places offered are limited; therefore the selection can be subject to a Skype interview and can be effected on the basis of the academic results.

Valid candidates will be contacted to schedule an interview, typically within one to three weeks.

Language

Admission to English-language graduate-level (Master) programmes at USI requires a good command, or advanced knowledge, of the English idiom. Non-English native speakers applying for the Master, or whose previous degree was obtained in another language than English, are required to provide an internationally acknowledged language certificate equal to the B2 level (IELTS 5.5), as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for language learning (CEFR), or equivalent (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS, etc.).

Students admitted on the above-mentioned condition must achieve a C1 (IELTS 7.0) competence in English within the maximum time required to obtain the Master's degree. The level can be certified either by attending a language course offered at USI during the Fall and Spring semester, and by taking the final exam, or by providing an internationally acknowledged language certificate.
