Orientation
In order to assist you in choosing the course that best suits your skills and needs, at IED we arrange numerous opportunities throughout the year that allow you to visit the facilities, meet the staff or put yourself to the test via targeted workshops created specifically for the course you have chosen.
We also have a series of services specifically for representatives, lecturers and teachers in Italian and Spanish High Schools, Senior high schools and Universities.
Scholarships and Facilitatations
For many years, IED has been involved in supporting the most motivated and brilliant students, by providing scholarships, grants and bursaries based on merit and financial eligibility. Thanks to agreements with leading banks, there is also the possibility of financing your training through subsidised loans. Also visit the page on the Right to Education.
AON Student lnsurance
Insurance policy for IED students
"AON Student lnsurance" is an insurance policy dedicated to IED students, the result of the agreement between AON and the Istituto Europeo di Design, which aims to offer, in its extended version, travel assistance (including return to the country of origin), health cover without limits of indemnity or deductible, accident cover, civil liability towards third parties, property damage and legal protection (also in this case provided without the application of deductibles).
Are you an international student?
From the very first moment at IED, all students, whether international or Italian, can count on a support service to assist with their integration into the socio-cultural context of the city and the campus in order to improve their learning experience.
In addition, for foreign students, knowing that they may have more difficulties at the beginning, we have produced an information kit to help overcome bureaucratic issues, but above all, we provide staff who will be able to assist them from the very moment they enrol.

COMMON AREAS
The IED campuses are all different from one another. Each facility reflects the city in which it is located, as do the areas dedicated to leisure and discussion, which are extremely useful for improving your own experience and professional growth by exchanging ideas outside the classroom.
PART-TIME STUDENT COLLABORATIONS (only for IED Italia)
Each year, students registered for the First Level Academic Diploma have the opportunity of collaborating with the school, assisting certain offices by carrying out paid work. Students can complete between 50 and 200 hours per year although this work does not carry any academic credits. The requirements, duration and reimbursement depend on the type of collaboration a student chooses.
