Incubating raw talents and nurturing them into respectable professionals has always being the aim of Raffles Institute of Higher Education. With the initial offering of six distinctive 2-year Advanced Diploma programs in Fashion Design, Fashion Marketing & Management, Interior Design, Graphic Design, Multimedia Design and Jewellery Design, Raffles is poised to raise the bar for the designing sector in Sri Lanka.
Rather than being purely academic, the Fashion Design program at Raffles Institute of Higher Education operates more like a design studio - where there are many practical elements taught to support creative thinking skills. Students are exposed to practical skills which they need to know in order to make clothes properly, from designing to sewing, at a level which is ‘Couture’ standard - preparing to enter a billion dollar industry. Students graduating from our fashion design courses have been winning awards at fashion competitions and Raffles is the only fashion college from Asia outside of Japan to achieve this top 50 global ranking.
Choice, flexibility and individuality are key concepts for Raffles. The staff – the lecturers and the dedicated team supporting them – really wants to inspire students to get the most out of the courses. They make the effort to get to know students and encourage them to do their best and realize their potential. At Raffles, learners are equipped with a strong foundation in technical proficiency and a good eye for market trends. With the assistance of our international lecturers, the students will be able to adapt to ever-changing market needs, technological developments and be ready to assume professional work the moment they graduate.
The international pool of lecturers prepares students for the global and Sri Lankan markets and shapes them into designers who pursue their own beliefs. This differentiates Raffles Designers from the mainstream designers in the industry. Dare to dream and you will realize that there are ample opportunities out there – waiting!
