Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in UK topped in the ranking of undergraduate programme worldwide launched on Monday (August 24, 2015) while the Royal College of Art, UK, led in the postgraduate category.
The ranking by Business of Fashion is based on three main factors of quality that students should know if they want to pursue a higher education degree in fashion: `experience' `value' and a school's `global influence' . This data was collected directly from, survey from 4,032 fashion students and alumni, 24 fashion schools participating from 11 countries, and also a survey of 88 HR professionals and fashion influencers around the world.
"The time and money to pursue a three or four-year Bachelor's degree, or a one or two-year Master's degree is important. The BoF Global Fashion School Rankings helps aspirants and their parents make informed choices, and find the programme strengths and institutional characteristics so that they can select the courses that are best suited to their studies," says Imran Amed, founder and CEO of the Business of Fashion.
The new activity will provide fashion students and business mans with a knowledge on how the fashion industry works and how to develop careers in the industry. Amed also said that , "this ranking has the power to send a wake-up call to even the top fashion schools around the world. Based on this survey of over 4,000 students, there is a real desire to develop the practical business thinking skills that will help fashion students develop their career, and prepare themselves to work in this fast growing industry, especially by giving them access to real time work experience."
