Welcome to NABA, The Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan.
We are one of the most progressive academies of art and design in Italy.
We are an academy devoted to research and to adding knowledge and understanding of all the ways art and design
contribute to the culture at large.
We are an academy that believes art and design should serve the greater good, and that they must be practiced in a
socially responsible, sustainable manner.
We are an academy with both a rich tradition in the visual arts and a commitment to innovation and expanding the
boundaries of arts education.
We are not, however, an academy for all students. We are an academy for each student.
We are here to cultivate your individual passion, your distinctive vision, and your unique creativity.
To open your eyes and your mind to what’s possible.
To develop how clearly you think, and how deeply you feel.
To free you to challenge the rules, and yourself.
To prepare you for fulfillment in your career and your life.
We are here to explore new possibilities for art and design in the world.

Milan.
The international capital of design.
The inspirational soul of design education.
When you have a passion for design and the arts, when you want to develop your passion into a
career, come to the place where design and the arts are an integral part of the past, the present,
and certainly the future.
In Milan, as in the whole of Italy, creativity and artistic expression are a fundamental, vital part
of the culture, and they have been for centuries. You see it in the ancient ruins, the classic
architecture, the timeless paintings and sculpture. You see it in opera and the media, in the most
exciting fashions of the day, and in the most innovative design being conceived and produced
anywhere in the world.
Here, you will have an unmatched opportunity not just to learn design, but also to immerse yourself
in a vibrant, stimulating creative culture that will enrich your education immeasurably.

NABA.
Recognized by the Ministry of Education for quality.
Recognized by students for creativity.
The Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti is unique among all Italian art and design academies. We
were the first and are the largest and most innovative private academy recognized by the
Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research. Our first-and second-level academic
degrees are legally recognized in Europe and the world over.
However there’s another critical difference that sets NABA apart. We are the school founded
by artists for artists.
Right from our beginning in 1980, we have remained true to our mission: celebrating and
cultivating the creativity of our students. And to helping them turn their artistic passion into
a fulfilling, productive profession.

The NABA Approach: Learning By Doing
For 30 years, we have used and refined our proven instructional method that thoroughly
integrates classroom study with experiential workshop practice.
Our multidisciplinary approach combines traditional visual disciplines with new digital
technologies, and synthesizes individual study with group project work.
We establish numerous collaborations and projects with Italian and international companies
and institutions to give students hands-on workplace opportunities to develop their critical
thinking, conceptual problem-solving, and practical artistic and design skills.
Additionally, acknowledging the importance of teamwork in professional organizations, our
commitment to group projects helps students become effective collaborators as well as
individual practitioners.

NABA is a remarkable collection of creative talent in an
outstanding facility for advanced education.
Today our more than 1800 students come from all over Italy and almost 50 foreign countries to
pursue undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in visual art, product design, fashion, graphic,
media and theatre design.
Our 10-building campus in a newly renovated industrial complex has significant architectural
value and is located downtown in the Navigli district, one of Milan’s most exciting and
stimulating areas.
Our superb IT infrastructure, high tech equipment, and fully equipped labs, provide students
with every resource for unlimited experimentation and self-expression.
And most importantly, with its numerous and spacious common areas, the NABA campus plays a
key role in building a strong feeling of community among students and faculty and by fostering
invaluable interaction and collaboration.
Our professors' passion for teaching matches
our students' passion for learning.
Our professors are key to the success of our approach. They are highly skilled educators who
are also highly talented practicing art and design professionals. They come from leading design
and architecture studios, fashion companies, advertising and marketing agencies, and arts
and culture institutes. Many maintain their own thriving studios here in Milan. Still more are
renowned art curators, critics, published authors, and regular contributors to influential arts
and design magazines. And all of them bring a current, real-world perspective to both their
lectures and group projects through which they inspire students to learn, experiment and grow.
But above all, NABA professors are passionate. About the art they practice, the subjects they
teach, and the students they motivate and mentor. They are completely committed to helping
NABA students become highly skilled critical thinkers, problem solvers, and communicators. In
short, they love what they do – helping each student become the best that he or she can be.

An Italian academy with international connections.
With students from almost 50 different countries, the NABA community benefits from a
broad diversity of cultures and ideas. But our students also benefit from our reach beyond
our Italian home.
We participate in exchange programs with art and design universities throughout Europe,
Latin America, Asia and the United States. We collaborate with prestigious foreign institutions
such as Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, Philadelphia University,
Pratt Institute, and Rhode Island School of Design.
In late 2009, NABA became part of Laureate International Universities, a global network of
more than 50 accredited institutions offering undergraduate and graduate degrees to over
600,000 students around the world. Among them, over 35,000 students are studying art,
design and architecture at Laureate institutions.
For more information, visit www.laureate.net
Clearly, we believe staying connected and engaged with the world at large enriches the
world of NABA.
The success of NABA graduates is proof of the NABA method.
Our graduates leave with the rich, relevant experiences and the advanced portfolios they
need to launch their careers in the design and art fields of their choice.
Today, former NABA students are collaborating in some of the leading companies in Italy
and the world: Armani, Versace, Swatch, Rochas, Trussardi, McCann-Erickson, J. Walter
Thompson, Saatchi & Saatchi, and more.
They are setting new trends as innovators in product, fashion, interior, landscape and
graphic design. They’re working as advertising and communications creative directors, art
directors and filmmakers. They’re pushing the limits of interactive and new media design.
They’re producing, writing, and directing throughout the TV and film production industries.
And they’re creating groundbreaking visual and theater arts throughout Europe and the
world.

Introduction
Program Director
Throughout this three-year program students acquire the core skills for the exploration of
the boundless design world. As they develop proficiency with hand and digital drawing, use
of the basic software, and the theory of color and shape; as they refine a critical approach
to specialized readings and more, they begin to understand the many and varied ways in
which to be a designer.
Stefano Mirti
He is an architect by education, and
a teacher by passion. He received an
architecture degree and Ph.D. from
the Politecnico di Torino. Since January
2006, he has been the Director of the
NABA School of Design. Prior to joining
NABA, he was one of the founders of
Cliostraat, the Torino architecture and
design firm. He spent three years in
Tokyo doing post-doctoral work with
Tadao Ando at Tokyo University and
also teaching Information Design at
the Tama Fine Art Academy. From 2001
to 2005, he was Associate Professor at
Interaction Design Institute in Ivrea and
was responsible for the exhibition unit.
Presently, he is a partner of Id-Lab, in
charge of of the Milan studio’s design
activities. Stefano Mirti has authored
a number of books - among which
it is worth mentioning “Interaction
Design Primer”, Postmedia 2006 - and
collaborates with various magazines,
specialized and not.
Our instructional methodology is very simple: “learning by doing.” We integrate theoretical
study with workshop practice to teach students to face and solve the real-world problems
designers encounter. As students acquire more highly developed technical and conceptual
abilities, we expose them to more challenging design experiences so they can put their
growing skills into practice.
The BA in Design provides the fundamental theoretical, practical and relational skills
students need to succeed throughout their education and to become professionals capable
of meeting the complex design challenges of the contemporary world.
Professional Fields:

Introduction
Program Director
The three-year program in Graphic Design and Art Direction trains students to become
graphic design and advertising professionals. The program teaches students how to
research and analyze the languages of contemporary visual culture. It also helps them
master the latest technical design techniques so they can become skilled communicators.

The program meets the increasing need for professionals who are capable of thinking and
communicating strategically using the fully integrated array of skills, from traditional
graphic design and advertising methods to new interactive and web-based media.
Students can choose between two specialization paths: one aimed at studying how to
design brand identity, structural design and packaging; the second aimed at providing
more skills in the development of multimedia advertising communication projects.
Graduates of this program will be prepared to work as professional creative directors, visual
designers, web directors, and graphic designers in advertising, traditional and multimedia
publishing, visual identity and exhibition design, as well as institutional, business and social
communication. Additionally, students will have the skills to meet the increasing demand

Anna Barbara
Graduated in architecture, Anna
Barbara has always dealt with the
relationships between sensoriality
and architecture, places, objects and
art. In 2000 she won the scholarship
of the Canon Foundation at the Hosei
University of Tokyo in Japan. She was
professor at the Kookmin University
of Seoul in South Korea and at the
Università dell’Immagine in Milan, at
the Politecnico di Milano at the Faculty
of Industrial Design and she held
courses and lectures in many foreign
universities. She has been a jury member
in many international architecture,
design and fashion competitions, and
took part in Biennale and festivals with
exhibition displays and installations on
the sensorial theme. She is the author
of “Storie di architettura attraverso i
sensi”–“Stories of architecture through
the senses” (Bruno Mondadori, 2000;
Bollati Boringhieri 2007) and with
A. Perliss of “Architetture invisibili”
–“Invisible architectures” (Skira, 2006).
It combines a creative and a critical approach that provides a well-rounded consideration
of clothing research and design, accessories, textiles, interiors, exhibition and stage sets,
multimedia displays, fashion marketing, and even the related disciplines of design and
architecture. As the project-based program develops students’ design skills, it also enhances
their appreciation for and sensitivity to the significance of fashion as it relates to the body,
the senses, space, and the visual culture at large.
During their first two years, students build a solid foundation in conceputal design and
production knowledge in preparation for pursuing more specific areas of interest in the
fashion industry. The two main specialisation fields are Fashion Collection and Fashion
Display.
The NABA program provides students with the theoretical, creative and production skills
they need to thrive as professionals in the global fashion industry that is in a constant state
of radical evolution and transformation.
Besides the traditional roles of stylist, model maker, and textile and accessory designer
operating in companies and professional studios, the program trains professionals for futures
in fashion communication and display in retail, publishing, and show business.

Introduction
Program Director
Our three-year program acknowledges the contemporary transformations that are blurring
the traditional disciplinary borders of fine art in order to incorporate a design approach that
attempts to connect art to a broader social context. Our program reinterprets and expands
a traditional academic approach to painting and visual arts. We include instruction in and
experimentation with the full array of artistic techniques.
Marco Scotini
He is an art critic and an independent
curator. He has held seminars in
literature and philosophy at the
University of Urbino and at the
International University of Art in
Florence. He has contributed many
articles and critical essays to specialized
magazines about the history of critical
studies, artistic historiography, and
the history of cinema. He curated a
number of exhibitions, among the most
recent ones it is worth mentioning:
“Revolutions Reloaded”, Milan-BerlinBucarest 2004, “Disobedience”, Berlin,
Prague, St. Petersburg, Mexico City,
Barcelona, Eindhoven, Nottingham,
Karlsruhe, Zagreb, Riga (2005-2008),
“Acción Directa”, Prague Biennale 2,
Prague 2005; “Der Prozess”, Prague
Biennale 3, Prague 2007. As curator
of the Gianni Colombo Archive in
Milan, he curated Colombo’s personal
exhibitions in Milan, Graz and Torino.
We encourage students to conceive artistic works in terms of complete project development
and with a regard for the dynamics and the values of the contemporary art system. Students
are guided through the experimentation with a variety of environments, techniques and
methods to help them develop an individual way of expressing themselves and their personal
artistic path.
The program originates from the belief that the role of an artist is becoming more and
more similar to that of a professional capable of playing various roles within contemporary
aesthetical and social education, thereby carrying out functions that are connected with
the world of production and that of communication as well. Besides creative skills, students
are also encouraged to develop self-promotion, project and organisation skills in order to
have easier access to the professional world.

Introduction
Program Director
At NABA, theatre design is an art form that incorporates many disciplines including theatre,
stage, costume and light design. In short, everything that is built as a set for the theatre,
cinema, TV programs or spectacular events.
As such, our three-year BA degree in Theatre Design helps students develop a broad spectrum
of skills to become professional designers for the traditional theatre environment and as
set designers for TV and cinema productions. They are also trained to conceive, design and
produce displays for events, art exhibitions and fashion shows.
Beginning with the first-year courses, we integrate historical-cultural study with hands-on
practical workshops. Students gain invaluable experience and build their personal portfolios
by designing for real theatre projects and by serving internships on actual theatre, television,

Diploma Programs
Students who have completed only 11 years of education may apply to NABA to enroll in one of our three-year Diploma Programs.
These programs offer the same curricula and examinations as our Bachelor of Arts programs, however students who complete the
curriculum earn a NABA diploma instead of a full Bachelor of Arts degree.
To enroll in a NABA Diploma Program, students are required to submit a document attesting the student’s previous studies. This
document does not need to be translated, nor does it need to be legalised by the Italian Embassy or Consulate, nor to ask for the Value
Declaration Certificate.
Students need to demonstrate proficiency in the Italian language unless enrolling in the English Pathway.
(See BA admission section for full details.)
Before being admitted to a Diploma Program, students must take the NABA admission examination. To be awarded the final diploma,

Language Foundation Semester in Design
Introduction
The Foundation Semester is designed for high school graduates who need to improve their
English or Italian language skills and intend to enroll in one of NABA’s three-year Bachelor
of Arts (BA) degrees. The semester gives students a basic introduction to our curricula in
Painting and Visual Arts, Graphic Design and Art Direction, Design, Fashion Design, Theatre
Design, Media Design and Multimedia Arts.
For international students that desire to enter the Italian or English BA pathway, the
foundation program will develop proficiency in Italian or English language so they can get
the most out of studying at NABA and in Milan. Carefully calibrated modules facilitate a
gradual acquisition of increasingly advanced language skills.
The program includes a strategic combination of intensive English or Italian language
classes (290 lessons), courses on History of Italian Design and Italian Society (45 hours
each), workshops in the major NABA BA degree disciplines (Design, Visual Arts, Fashion
Design, Graphic Design – 24 hours each), and cultural field trips in Milan and throughout
Italy. Following this five-month program, a 45-hour Summer Course allows students to focus
on the discipline they believe they want to pursue for their NABA BA degree.
Throughout the Semester, a tutor will assist students in the creation of a portfolio that will
be presented as part of the admission testing process for the Bachelor of Arts program.
Learning Outcomes
Intense academic and non-academic cultural activities will enhance students’ independent
critical thinking and help them decide which academic path suits their ability, aspiration
and potential.
Students will also achieve a good working knowledge of the English or Italian language. This
is vital in order for them to benefit completely from studying in Milan and from integrating
fully in the Italian cultural environment. A final test will be administered for admission
into the NABA Bachelor of Arts programs. Students who complete the Foundation Semester
acquire the skills to pass the entrance exam.

Introduction
Program Directors
Starting from the contemporary vision of design intended as a multidiscipline, the two-year
degree in Product Design focuses on user centric dynamics that investigate real man-man, manobject, man-space and man-service interactions, through the practice of daily life activities.
It aims to help students to become design professionals capable of offering a high level of
cultural flexibility and excellent decision-making ability, and to choose and develop complex
systems related to spaces, products, and services. Students also are taught to understand that
products are expressions of a wider corporate vision that includes all the modalities a company
uses to communicate and represent itself. The program trains designers to have the flexibility
and open-mindedness needed to analyze complex processes and find opportunities, in order to
create effective solutions to the issues presented by the current market.

Introduction
Program Director
Digital information has become a fundamental commodity of our time. Modern society is
increasingly dependent upon multimedia digital technologies.They are becoming ubiquitous
in nearly all areas of human life and are radically changing the processes of communication,
production, and the culture itself. The aim of this program, held in English, is to help students

create a wide variety dynamic, interactive digital environments: exhibition spaces, digital theater
design, virtual museums, interactive performance spaces, and communication architectures.
The interdisciplinary program integrates theoretical and critical study with project research and
experimentation. Students explore representation models of digital environments to study one
of the most significant aesthetic dimensions of recent years: interaction. The creative process is
focused on using digital techniques as such as 3D modelling and animation, visual and interface
design, video and multimedia techniques, and database management to aid the design of complex
digital environments for exhibition and performance.

Introduction
Program Director
The home has always been a reflection of how society, the economy and the culture influence
everyday human existence. In the last decade, profound lifestyle changes have been taking place
worldwide and they are deeply affecting how we conceive the home of the future. Within less than
20 years, more than 70% of the world’s population will be living in metropolises, and the home
will more and more reflect this global change. In this Master program, held in English, students
will consider all the ways in which homes and interior design will reflect the transformations
taking place in our cities. The program synthesizes theroretical classroom study with workshops
in which students will create diversified design scenarios and apply them to concrete situations
in urban and non-urban environments. They will examine the domestic environment in all its
roles: as shelter, as workplace, as borderland between public and private space, as both meeting
place and a place of refuge and solitude. Traditional classroom study will be combined with
experimental workshops devoted to new design themes, materials research, and the application
of new solutions and technologies to real-world challenges. The workshops will be integrated with
modelling, simulation, rendering laboratories and by the advanced teaching of IT programs that
serve to enhance the representative capability of the project.

Introduction
Program Director
A collaboration between NABA and FORMA Centro Internazionale di Fotografia in Milan, this
Master program trains professionals who are able to combine a solid historical and cultural
base with highly developed technical and practical skills necessary for success in national and
international markets. It offers the opportunity for modular specialization in which every student
has the freedom to structure a curriculum that corresponds to his or her specific professional
interests in the areas of producing, managing, archiving, circulating and presenting photographic
imagery. Photographic images constitute a fundamental part of our everyday visual experience
demanding an increasingly large share of our attention, from city walls to magazines at the news
stand, from printed clothes, to telephone displays. In the most innovative institutions in our
society, in the various fields of cultural and commercial production, performance, information
management, and the exhibition industry, there is a growing demand for professionals who
know how to take full advantage of the profound changes, efficiencies and improvements made
possible by rapidly advancing digital photographic technologies and techniques.The program
integrates theoretical study with laboratories and project workshops. Workshops are conducted
in collaboration with a network of partner companies and institutions. Students work in teams,
apply interdisciplinary skills, and operate under conditions that simulate a real assignment in a
real studio to meet real-world challenges.

Introduction
Program Director
"Extraordinary Landscapes," our Master program in Landscape Design developed in collaboration
with Politecnico di Milano, trains architects and designers to deal with the wide variety of
issues affecting contemporary landscape planning and design: environmental impacts, human
needs, historical sensitivity, public planning, and anthropological and political considerations.
The program combines classroom study with extensive project workshops. The workshops are
conducted with practicing architects, designers, artists and anthropologists, each of whom bring
their particular point of view to the project. In this way, students develop a multidisciplinary,
360-degree perspective about all the factors that must be considered in order to create
landscape designs that are both conceptually successful and environmentally responsible.

draw, you go in the labs, using machinery and materials, you experiment and
use your creativity to create something concrete. It’s nice because you dirty
your hands, you can follow the whole production process of the project,
from design to prototyping. Here you experience directly what works and
what does not so you can improve your design method and enhance your
creativity”.

“The thing that first attracted me to NABA was the master course. And then after I did some research
on NABA, I found that it organizes a lot of good activities for both students and the public. Being a
hub of creativity is very important in order to develop a thinking process and keep in touch with the
community. The course is about digital art in space, which was the very thing I was interested in. I
am also impressed with the structure of the master, which is in the middle of arts and design. The

BEFORE LEAVING HOME
VISA
EU students
Need no visa; they may enter in Italy with a valid passport or ID card, and are
entitled to stay for study or work as long as they like.
NON EU students
Students not having citizenship or residency in EU countries must apply for a
visa at the Italian consulate at their home country. Be sure to ask for a multiple
entry Schengen visa (type D) if you are visiting other European countries of the
Schengen area.
For information on Schengen Countries see:
http://ec.europa.eu/news/justice/071221_1_en.htm
You must apply for and obtain your visa prior to your arrival in Italy. We suggest
that you begin your visa application process as soon as possible since the
consulate generally takes time to grant your visa.
Do not enter in Italy with a tourist visa, since it will be impossible to obtain an
extension of your visa once in the country and you will be forced to leave Italy
after three months.
Please make sure you have all the required documentation prior to going to the
Italian Consulate/Embassy to make your visa request.
Usually, the requested documentation comprises:
• a recent passport style photo
• passport or identity card valid for at least three months after visa expiry
date
• NABA acceptance letter
• declaration of the availability in Italy of appropriate lodgings as well as
the funds necessary for repatriation, possibly to be demonstrated in the
form of a return airline ticket
• insurance coverage for medical treatment and/or hospitalisation, to
be demonstrated by means of: Consular declaration attesting to the
applicant’s right to healthcare in the presence of specific agreements
between Italy and the applicant’s country of origin; foreign insurance
policy or one underwritten with Italian bodies or companies with
no limitations or exception to the fees established for emergency
hospitalisations. (see chapter Health insurance)
• repatriation funds or a return ticket may be claimed. As a consequence,
if you do not have a return ticket you may be asked to demonstrate the
availability of funds for repatriation.
We suggest that you contact the consulate/embassy directly, since individual
consulates may have specific requirements.
HEALTH INSURANCE
EU students
In Italy EU students have a right to the same health services as in their home
countries; before you leave your home country you should ensure that you have
the new European Health Insurance Card or an E128 form.
NON EU students
In Italy you might find yourself in need for medical care and/or hospitalization.
This is why, when applying for the study visa before living your country, you
have to provide evidence of your capability to cover all your possible expenses
related to medical assistance.
You may choose one of the following possibilities:
• obtain a consular statement confirming that you are entitled to medical
care in consequence of an agreement between Italy and your home
country;
• subscribe a private health insurance policy in your home country, and
obtain from the competent Italian Consulate a statement of its validity
for Italy; such a consular statement must also describe the length and
types of services covered; besides it must confirm that the contract does
not imply any limitations of or exceptions to the tariffs fixed for urgent
hospitalization during the whole time period it may be necessary;
• subscribe a health insurance policy with an Italian body or company such
as the Istituto Nazionale delle Assicurazioni (INA), which, thanks to an
agreement with the Italian Ministry of Health, offers a special insurance
policy to cover medical assistance; in case of an insurance policy
stipulated with Italian bodies other than INA, it shall be supported by a
statement issued by the insurance company concerned in confirmation
that the contract does not imply any limitations of or exceptions to the
tariffs fixed for urgent hospitalization during the whole time period it
may be necessary.
If you are not sure which consulate to apply to, please visit the website:

HEALTH INSURANCE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN PERMIT OF STAY
NON EU students
A health insurance coverage is required in order to obtain your permit of stay
in Italy.
Private health insurance should meet the following requirements:
• be effective across Italy
• provide a comprehensive cover of health risks
• have a clear indication of the starting and expiration dates
• indicate the procedures to be followed in order to claim a reimbursement
(e.g. address; contact person; telephone and fax numbers; any e-mail
address)
The private health insurance must be officially translated into Italian.
If you have no other private health insurance coverage upon your arrival in Italy,
you will have to purchase INA ASSITALIA Insurance.
Please note that it will only cover expenses in the event of emergency treatment
and / or urgent hospitalization.
For more info about INA ASSITALIA insurance please call 06 3611676
Payment for the Insurance Coverage must be made at the Post Office on the:
Account N° 71270003
addressed to:
INA-ASSITALIA Agenzia Generale di Roma c. n° 20
stating name, family name and address in Italy.
The amount is Euro 49,00 for 6 months and Euro 98,00 for one year.
ITALIAN NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE
In Italy the National Healthcare System (SSN) is provided by a public healthcare
service (ASL). Only foreign students with a valid permit of stay or residence
permit may apply for this service.
The subscription to the SSN is not compulsory, however it is strongly
recommended because it gives you the possibility to be treated as an Italian
citizen for what concerns health. This means you will have the chance to choose
a doctor, who will visit you for any problem (free of charge), and who will refer
you to specialists (dentists, orthopedics, etc) if needed, as well as prescribe
medicines or medical tests for you. For details, you can contact the nearest
public relations office (URP) of any Azienda Sanitaria Locale (ASL).
In order to be registered to the SSN, you have to go to the ASL of your city area.
To locate your local office, according to your district of residence, please follow
this link www.asl.milano.it/indUtiliRicerca.asp
If you are an EU student, you need to bring:

11

SHARED APARTMENTS
NABA supports its students in finding an accommodation in apartments shared
with other students, thanks to a network of private contacts and a notice board
where all students can post their announcements.
Although most of the students would like to live as near as possible to NABA,
it is quite normal to find accommodation at least 30 minutes far from the
Academy: remember that you are in a large town and that it is not always easy
to live in the most convenient location.
In addition to Real Estate Agencies and NABA contacts / notice board, here are
some useful websites where you can find further offers:

Important tips for renting a flat/bed in shared apartment:
1. Average costs:
single room 500-600 € per month (expenses not always included)
double room 250-350 € per person per month (expenses not always
included)
studio flat 800-900 € per month (expenses not always included).
2. Real estate agencies usually charge a fee for their service, which may
vary from 10% (for those agencies having an agreement with NABA, such
as Toscano and Pirelli) to 15-20% for other agencies.
3. When renting a flat, always make sure of what is included or not in the
total monthly amount. Usually, the amount includes highest expenses
(heating and expenses for common property, which may be more than
100 €/month), while does not include lower expenses (water, light, gas,
which may be around 50 €/month), but always double-check it with the
landlord/flatmates.
4. Depending on the agreement with the landlord, the rental payment may
be monthly or quarterly.
5. Generally you have to leave a deposit fee corresponding to 3 months
of rental. The deposit fee will be returned when you leave the
accommodation definitely, if no damages have been done.
6. When you rent a flat you will probably have to sign a legally registered
contract, where all rental conditions are specified. When renting a
place in a shared flat, the contract may exist or not, depending on the
agreement with the landlord.
In any case make always sure that all conditions have been clearly established,
in order to avoid “bad surprises” during or after your staying.

NABA
NABA ACADEMY
NABA is a legally recognised non state institution belonging to the Higher
Education in Art and Music (AFAM), a section of the Italian National Higher
Education System, ruled by the Italian Ministry of Education, University
and Research (MIUR), to which all legally recognised institutions providing
education in the fields of arts, music and performing arts have to refer.
NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti Milano is an innovative Arts and
Design Academy and at the same time a dynamic artistic and cultural
centre. Founded in 1980, on the initiative of a private group of artists
and intellectuals, it was the first Italian Academy to introduce the study
of fashion and graphic design in the fine arts curriculum and that was able
to combine the academic educational tradition with the critical project
based culture typical of Italian design.
Strongly oriented towards experimentation, NABA aims at integrating
education, research and production and fostering a cross-disciplinary,
intercultural and socially responsible approach to education and artistic
production.
At NABA, students have the chance to grow and explore their potential,
gaining broad in-depth knowledge that is not limited to art and design.
This happens thanks to the Academy’s numerous cultural activities (e.g.
courses, conferences, guests speaking on a variety of topics, and all the
activities of the Academy’s associations) and – above all – thanks to the
ongoing process of internationalization that has been characterizing NABA
for a significant time now. This process has given NABA a multicultural
character which is seldom encountered in Italy. This constant commitment
to improving and raising the quality of its study programs, developing
progressive teaching methods and competing with the finest academies
worldwide makes studying at NABA a stimulating experience.

STUDYING IN MILANO
GETTING TO MILANO

minds and publishers. Students who decide to attend a university in Milano will

NABA has also signed a number of agreements with shops located close to the
campus.

TRAVELLING BY PLANE AROUND EUROPE AND LOW COST FLIGHTS
When compared to “continental’ proportions countries like the U.S., Canada
and China, Europe can be considered a small continent. This factor makes
travelling around Europe a very achievable goal, not only in terms of distances
but also economically. There are many European airlines such as Alitalia, Air
29
France and British airways, offering air connections through their respective
hubs in Milano/Roma, Paris and many more. It’s all very convenient, leaving
from central airport and having good in-flight service, but today is also possible
to cross Europe paying, sometimes, not a “penny” more than the airport
taxes! Low Cost airlines are all over Europe, flying from less known and central
airports and not offering in-flight service (at least not without paying extra).
The most popular Low Cost airlines in Europe are EasyJet and Ryan Air, but
there are many more to be found on the web. Eventually is possible to find Low
Cost airlines flying out of more well-known airports, such as Milano Malpensa,
Milano Linate or even London Gatwick, but usually the cheapest flight don’t
land in such airports.
If you want to find out more information on Low Cost flights just click in one of
the following links:

green and yellow.
The blue line corresponds to the so called Passante Ferroviario. You can use ATM
tickets on the Passante Ferroviario trains from Dateo to Bovisa F.M.

Shared apartments
NABA supports its students in finding an accommodation in apartments shared with other students, thanks to a
network of private contacts and a notice board where all students can post their announcements.
Although most of the students would like to live as near as possible to NABA, it is quite normal to find
accommodation at least 40-50 minutes far from the University: remember that you are in a large town and that it
is not always easy to live in the most convenient location.
Some of the nearest areas located at a walking/biking distance from NABA are: Navigli, Ticinese, Porta Genova,
Ripamonti, Porta Romana, Solari, Lorenteggio, Sant’Agostino, Sant’Ambrogio, Famagosta, Ludovico il Moro.
Consider anyways that NABA may be easily reached with public transportation, both with Milan typical tram
number 3 (stop Via Meda-Largo Mahler) or with the underground green line number 2 (Romolo stop). Therefore,
shall you find a comfortable accommodation in other areas don’t worry, public transportation in Milan is pretty
efficient.

Important tips for renting a flat/bed in shared apartment:
1.
Average costs:
• single room: 400-500 € per month (bills could not be included)
• double room: 250-350 € per person per month (bills could not be included)
• studio flat: 600-800 € per month (bills could not be included).
2. Real estate agencies usually charge a fee for their service, which may vary from 10% (for those agencies
having an agreement with NABA, such as Toscano and Pirelli) to 15-20% for other agencies.
3. When renting a flat, always make sure of what is included or not in the total monthly amount. Usually,
the amount includes highest expenses (hidding and expenses for common property, which may be more
than 100 €/month), while does not include lower expenses (water, light, gas, which may be around 50
€/month), but always double-check it with the landlord/flatmates.
4. Depending on the agreement with the landlord, the rental payment may be monthly or quarterly.
5. Generally you have to leave a deposit fee corresponding to 3 months of rental. The deposit fee will be
returned when you leave the accommodation definitely, if no damages have been done.
6. When you rent a flat you will probably have to sign a legally registered contract, where all rental
conditions are specified. When renting a place in a shared flat, the contract may exist or not, depending
on the agreement with the landlord.
7. When you call an Italian phone number from abroad, make sure to dial +39 before the number.
In any case make always sure that all conditions have been clearly established, in order to avoid “bad
surprises” during or after your staying.
