ISIA Florence is a university-level public institute in the AFAM sector of the Ministry of University and Research that deals with training, research and experimentation in the field of Design. It proposes an educational offer articulated in three-year and two-year specialised courses, as well as post-graduate courses and post-diploma training courses.
The Institute, founded in 1975 with the aim of training new generations of professional designers, is a research-focused university, whose activity has always been aimed at formal, technological and social innovation.
For over forty years, ISIA Florence has been preparing its students to become designers capable of formulating avant-garde, sustainable projects with innovative design solutions in multiple fields.
ISIA Florence has developed relations with leading Italian and international companies in the design and communication fields and with prestigious training bodies and institutions, succeeding in training some of the most famous designers over the years.
In particular, the collaboration between ISIA Florence, the L. Cherubini Conservatory of Music in Florence and the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence has recently led to the creation of the Florence Polytechnic of Arts and Design, a pole that unites the three different Florentine AFAM institutes and proposes an entirely new interdisciplinary training model on the national creative and artistic scene.
