Internships

There is no way you can know what something is like until you have actually tried it. Students often have unfounded preconceptions of what working in the fashion industry is really like and have extremely diverse notions of what employers expect from them. This is why Amsterdam Fashion Academy has given priority to offering vocationally-focused opportunities within a course, such as internships. Students can experience and learn what the work involves and take in all that goes on around them. Having this kind of opportunity is crucial in helping them make informed choices about their future career.

All our second-year students of both Bachelor’s degree Fashion Business and Bachelor’s degree Fashion Design (Hons) work on a Personal Development Plan (PDP): a self-analysis process that involves invaluable individual contact hours with a lecturer to help develop their leadership and management skills and identify the right career path. The first element of this process is the internship, the students’ first big step into the fashion industry.

 

Amsterdam Fashion Academy has worked hard to build up strong relations within the industry and can now offer a breathtaking array of internships with renowned and innovative designers and fashion houses. Viktor & Rolf, SuitSupply, Claes Iversen, Tommy Hilfiger, Karl Lagerfeld, Rebecca Laurey and Essentiel Antwerp, to name but a few….

Experience the Amsterdam Fashion Academy like never before during our exclusive Open Days. These personalized experience, led by our experienced lecturers, offer an in-depth exploration of the fashion world.

 

Explore our campus, including captivating fashion exhibitions, receive detailed explanations about our programs, and seize the opportunity to connect with our community of current students and accomplished alumni. Plus, prepare to immerse yourself in our exciting hands-on workshops, allowing you to discover your passion and potential firsthand.
