Shape your future in London. With NABA.
Why choose London?
Because it strengthens your academic journey and expands your skills, experiences and connections — combining NABA’s established excellence and methodology with an even more international context that accelerates, exposes and amplifies your potential.
It means bringing your journey into one of the most dynamic creative contexts in the world, where every idea enters into dialogue with different cultures, languages and perspectives.
With NABA, you’re not starting over: you bring with you a solid design methodology, a multidisciplinary vision and the experience of an international Academy that has been shaping top-level creatives for over 40 years.
NABA London was created for this: not to make you adapt to a new context, but to put you in a position to evolve, with greater awareness and openness.
What does NABA London represent?
NABA London is an international extension of NABA’s excellence — offering students the opportunity to grow in an even more open, dynamic and global context.
It is the ideal choice for those who want to experience the NABA approach while expanding their horizons even further.
With NABA London, what already works finds new ground — a different context, fresh perspectives, but the same ambition: to create the best.
The approach doesn’t change: it is project-based, interdisciplinary and connected to the real world, beyond the classroom walls.
But the environment transforms. It becomes even denser, more varied, more interconnected.
This means more points of view, more exchange, more energy flowing in and out of every idea.
And with all of this, more possibilities for your work to grow.
NABA London doesn’t define what your “best” should look like.
It creates the conditions for you to start building it.
London is one of the world’s leading creative hubs, where culture, industry and innovation come together every day.
Fashion, design, media and research coexist within a dynamic ecosystem capable of turning ideas into concrete projects and professional opportunities.
Studying at NABA London means entering this system and living an international experience in close contact with the creative and professional world.
It is a context that accelerates your journey, broadens perspectives and puts you in a position to develop your potential in a more aware and competitive way.
The new NABA London campus will be located at Here East, within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – an environment where innovation, culture and the creative industries converge.
Studying in this area means being immersed in a dynamic professional ecosystem, with direct access to international networking opportunities.

The Value of NABA London
Studying in London means entering one of the most dynamic creative ecosystems in the world.
From the fashion ateliers of Soho to the design studios of Shoreditch, from the independent galleries of Peckham to the major museums of South Kensington — the city offers daily access to places where ideas are created, tested and shared.
Here, cultures, industries and creative communities don’t merely coexist — they meet and cross-pollinate.
And because London sits at the intersection of Europe and the global creative economy, what happens here spreads quickly, turning local experiences into international opportunities.
Because studying in London doesn’t mean observing the world from a distance.
It means being fully immersed within it.
At NABA London, students follow the same interdisciplinary, project-based approach that defines the academic experience in Milan and Rome.
What changes is the context — and with it, the scope of opportunities.
In one of the most international cities in the world, where cultures, industries and creative languages converge daily, learning extends well beyond the classroom.
Students engage with new contexts, professional realities and ways of working that challenge familiar perspectives and stimulate growth.
Whether continuing their studies or beginning to build their path in the creative field, London offers both a testing ground and a launch platform.
NABA London is located within Here East, in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park: a context where innovation, culture and the creative industries come together and collaborate.
Studying in this environment means being immersed in a dynamic professional ecosystem, with direct access to international networking opportunities.
The campus is designed to be open, flexible and in constant dialogue with its surroundings, offering spaces conceived for active and collaborative learning.
Labs, studios and shared spaces support project development and foster exchange across disciplines and skills.
It is not just a place to study, but an environment that amplifies the creative process and connects it directly to the professional world.
