Promotion: Milan-based design school Domus Academy invites young talents in design, fashion and business to apply to its competition to win scholarships to study a master's course or a double award master's degree.

The highly ranked postgraduate school has a mission to "envision the future and inspire life and people over all the world through design" and has an open and interdisciplinary approach to learning.

Designers can apply for a scholarship worth up to €5,500 for the portfolio contest or €9,000 for the project-based contest and can apply to both types of competition.

Portfolio applicants must have a first-level degree or a strong background in fashion, design, architecture, visual arts, communication and/or business, and are invited to submit a portfolio of work and their CV.

Project applicants must submit work along a specific brief, depending on the course they are applying to.

For Masters in Fashion Styling and Visual Merchandising designers are required to create a global strategy to integrate the "visual identity" of a brand of their choice, while applicants applying for the Masters in Fashion Design are asked to design an "innovative drop fashion collection".

For those applying for the Masters in Luxury Brand Management and Master in Fashion Management, designers are asked to propose a "customer-centric experience through omnichannel pillars", while the Masters in Visual Brand Design course requires them to create a communication campaign to showcase diversity and inclusivity.

Designers can also apply for the Masters in Business Design and should present an analysis of a crowdfunding project that has been successful over the last five years.

Other master's degrees that young designers can apply to include Masters in Interior and Living Design, Masters in Urban Vision and Architectural Design, Masters in Service Design, Masters in Interaction Design, and Master in Product Design.

Applicants must apply before 7 October 2022, with courses beginning in February 2023, and all applications should be submitted on Domus Academy's website.

Domus Academy opened in 1982 and was one of the first post-graduate design schools in Italy.

The academy has since won multiple awards for its teaching and is now recognised among the top three design schools in Italy. It is also one of the top 100 art and design universities in the world, according to the 2022 edition of the QS World University Rankings.
