Aalto University’s fashion programmes have been ranked fourth best in the world by CEO World Magazine. Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) has been named the best fashion school in the world for 2020 while London College of Fashion, a part of the University of the Arts London (UAL), placed 2nd, switching places with FIT from last year.

The rigorous classification process takes into account global reputation and influence; specialization; recruiter’s feedback; placement rates; admission eligibility; and academic experience as well as data from over 40,000 students, 50,000 industry professionals, and 30,000 recruiters and CEOWORLD magazine’s analytics.

Also making the cut was the prestigious Westphal College of Media Arts & Design at Drexel University (No. 3): Central Saint Martins (No. 5); Parsons School of Design (No. 6); and Istituto Marangoni International – Milan (No. 7). Overall, among the top 10 best fashion schools in the world, the 8th, 9th, and 10th positions are held by Bunka Fashion College, National Institute of Fashion Technology -New Delhi, and Savannah College of Art and Design.
