Design
school and language schools in Milan: IED Instituto
Europeo di Design
- IH Milan - Leonardo da Vinci - LinguaDue
We visited the schools in 2011 and 2014.
Welcome to
Milan, the capital of business, fashion and design. Milan is
the second biggest town in Italy, and the most economically
developed. Here you can meet people from every region of Italy
and from every country of the world. The city is busy day and
night. It offers a wide range of restaurants, discotheques,
cinemas, bars, charming cafes with theatre-like furniture. "La
Scala", the most famous opera house in the world, the Duomo
and a lot of other important sights awaits you.
More:
you can easily reach the Italian and Swiss mountains to ski
in wintertime, the Italian seaside in Liguria or the "Cote
d'Azur" in France during the summertime. Milan is perfectly
connected by airplanes, trains and motorways to the most important
destinations in Europe and in the world.
So
what are you waiting for?

The
Italian courses take place in the IH City Centre
premises, situated in a quiet pedestrian square
in the elegant surroundings of the city centre.
The Duomo Cathedral, shops, restaurants and cafés
are just a few minutes walk away.
Since
1982, our objective has been to meet the language
learning needs of every student, providing the
highest standards of tuition in a friendly, relaxed
atmosphere. We offer a professional, yet personal
approach to language learning.
Our
school, located in the centre of Milan, offers
all types and levels of Italian courses for foreigners.
Our aim is to offer our clients an effective,
personalised and fully satisfactory service, and
to improve this service by listening to our clients
and fulfilling their requests.
Italian courses for all purposes
Our
Italian courses for foreigners include Individual
lessons, Standard, Intensive and Super Intensive
group courses from beginners to advanced level,
evening courses and summer courses for Fashion&Design.
Our summer course “Survival Italian for
Beginners” is ideal if you want to learn
the basics of Italian in a useful and fun way
during a brief holiday in Milan. Among others
we organise a language and culture course “Enjoy
50+”, “full immersion” courses
and closed group courses.
You are the star!
The
teachers, holding the International House or equivalent
certificate, use different methods to plan the
lessons based on the communicative approach, emphasising,
right from beginner level, this fundamental aspect
of language learning, guiding the students in
their discovery of grammar and vocabulary and
creating the conditions for practice and role-plays.
The
students are therefore the real stars of the lesson,
according to the principle that the best way to
learn a language is to use it, with the encouragement
of a teacher, making the use of the language in
everyday situations easier.
Besides
Italian as a language, the lessons also embrace
Italian culture at different times and in different
ways: during the moments dedicated to free conversation;
when watching films carefully chosen and with
follow-up activities and discussion; with the
special lessons on Friday envisaged for the group
courses that allow the students to use the language
outside the classroom, around the city, going
to exhibitions, museums, markets, newspaper editorial
offices, and everything else the city has to offer.
We
hope to welcome you soon to Italy, to Milan and
at our school and we also hope that your trip
is both profitable and pleasant.

Three-Year
Courses are post-secondary school courses with obligatory
attendance, designed for a limited number of students
who want to take their talent and creativity and
transform them into a profession, as well as to
acquire knowledge as a means of constructing the
personal, professional and social project for their
own lives. The training aims at achieving three
basic objectives: knowledge of technologies, of
materials and of design culture, the ability to
understand the market and its requirements and the
ability to communicate the qualities of design.
The
first year is devoted to acquiring the basic methodology
necessary for students to adopt the right approach
to creative work. In the years that follow, there
is a more intense focus on design activities developed
on the base of real client briefs, supported by
the guidance of lecturers and by the supervision
of consultants in the field in question. The well-established
relationship between IED and the working world enables
students to take part in events, seminars and competitions:
often real working experience that culminates in
dissertation projects. This stimulates students
to acquire critical skills, to operate independently,
to make decisions and to relate to the client, just
as they would do in their real professional careers.
Master
courses
The
courses are addressed to newly-graduated students
and practising professionals. IED Masters launch
professionals that have the abilities to:
- deal
with the complexity of the contemporary world
-
consciously tackle the new requirements of production
-
open windows onto potential new worlds
-
interact competently in professional circumstances
These
advanced study program with flexible curricula are
designed to cater for the increasing complexity
of the labour market.
One-Year
Courses
Held in English, the courses in this one-year full
immersion are designed to enable students to experiment
and pick up the basic tools of design. Theory lessons
are accompanied by creative workshops, visits to
firms, trade fairs and industrial events, meetings
with practising professionals.
The
result is an effective concentrate of experiences,
ideal above all for foreign students who want to invest
a limited amount of time in acquiring key skills for
building their professional profiles and gaining concrete
experiences in close contact with the Made in Italy
system, without ruling out the possibility of continuing
their studies later. Summer
Courses
If you have already started work and are interesting
in broadening your horizons of expertise and giving
your CV a more competitive edge, then this is an
ideal formula for you.
Every year, during June and July, IED offers intermediate
and advanced courses in the fields of Fashion, Design
and Visual Arts. These courses are held in English
and generally last from three to four weeks.
They are a perfect solution for those who desire
to combine their spare time during holidays with
a new stimulating experience. Following a precise
methodology and guided by professors, who are all
professionals from the chosen field, students will
experience the development of a project specific
to their interests.
Continuing
Study Program
These are typically very flexible modular courses
with diversified didactic contents: features that
enable personal curricula to be organised to suit
each individual’s specific requirements.
Attendance from a minimum of one to a maximum of
five days a week, duration from one to nine months,
the restricted numbers of students and the fact
that the lecturers are all practising professionals
are just some of these courses’ distinctive
traits.
The topics tackled may be dealt with differently
from one location to another in terms of formula,
duration and depth. |
