The Academy of Design in Ljubljana is an independent institution of higher education established in 2005. A study programme of Interior Design, Visual Communications, and Textiles and Fashion Design was conceived in accordance with the Bologna declaration standards following the example of comparable European programmes. The programmes are interdisciplinary and based on team work. The aim is to qualify designers with the necessary knowledge that leads to innovative design solutions.
