Hello! Thanks for your question about the top 10 design & art universities in the world. The short version is that the Royal College of Art, MIT, Politecnico di Milano, Parsons and six other universities offer world-class education in the arts. Below you will find a deep dive of my findings.
TOP 10 ART & DESIGN UNIVERSITIES
They offer 26 programs across the art and design disciplines. Master, MPhil, and PhD programs are delivered through a mix of scholarly research and studio work. "Each program offers a full package of assisted learning through tutorials, seminars, and support for individual and group projects, and learning is focused on giving each student the support they need to build expertise in their discipline."
The university is divided into five schools (architecture and planning; engineering; humanities, arts and social sciences; management; and science). The school's areas of interest include nanotechnology; sustainable energy, cybersecurity, robotics, AI, human healthcare, poverty alleviation and business startups. "One way MIT graduates drive progress is by starting companies that deliver new ideas to the world. MIT alumni have launched more than 30,000 active companies, creating 4.6 million jobs and generating roughly $1.9 trillion in annual revenue."
Parsons is famous throughout the world. Their undergraduate and graduate programs offer students interdisciplinary training and includes practice-based collaborative spaces. Artists and teachers establish and create art and design while taking a well-rounded course load.
