The Amsterdam Fashion Academy is a progressive, creative fashion school located in the heart of Amsterdam. Our goal is to give each of our students the tools they need to follow their fashion dreams. Small class sizes and individual attention make the Amsterdam Fashion Academy the ideal place to study for a university-awarded fashion bachelor’s degree programme.

Our status as a small scale, intimate and supportive fashion academy is part of our core identity and informs our approach to teaching. We are proud of being a space for students who do not feel at home in traditional ‘mass’ educational establishments. With regard to class sizes, less really is more: fewer students per class means our tutors are able to give every student the personal attention they need to flourish and grow whilst maintaining their individuality.

The Amsterdam Fashion Academy is a unique, highly specialised academy; a veritable Mecca for fashion mavericks! The combination of stylish sophistication with unconventional individualism makes the Amsterdam Fashion Academy a cut above the rest. Live industry projects, internships and guest lectures with leading fashion brands, such as Viktor&Rolf, Iris van Herpen, Numero Magazine, Fashion for Good, Highsnobiety, Spring Studios, give our international students invaluable first-hand experience of how the industry really works.

The Amsterdam Fashion Academy’s Bachelor’s Degrees in Fashion Business and Bachelor’s Degree with Honours in Fashion Design programmes offer students a thorough grounding in our key pillars:

  • Entrepreneurship;
  • Sustainability, Diversity and Inclusion;
  • Research;
  • Digital Fashion;
  • Individuality.
