In the UAE, after 12th can you suggest which college is the best for fashion study/designing. Also, can please answer in detail like how you get into it and which entrance examination is required?
Hi Khadeeja,
There are several institutes in the UAE offering fashion designing courses. Some of the top institutes offering fashion designing courses are:
- French Fashion Institute Esmod, Dubai
- Amity University, Dubai
- American University of Sharjah
- FAD Institute of Luxury Fashion, Dubai
ESMOD Dubai and FAD Institute are top international institutes which offer a wide variety of courses in fashion designing, business etc which are short term courses ranging from weeks to six months. I suggest you to undertake these courses which will help your career, but only after obtaining a bachelor's degree in fashion design at Amity or AU Sharjah. These are 4 year UG courses which you can apply starting fall or spring semesters. The criteria for admission will vary at both these colleges, which you can find in their official websites. Few common things like you need a valid Emirates ID, passport etc. There will be screening tests, interviews too. You also must have a good score in English language proficiency test, either IELTS, TOEFL or iBT. If you have studied in the UAE in a foreign curriculum school like CBSE, you need a score of 70% and above in 12th grade.
Hope this is helpful.
