This course will give students an insight into the role of the footwear designer in the fashion industry. It also aims to provide students with the skills necessary to produce a professional portfolio, showing individual creativity along with an understanding of footwear trends.

This course consists of all the practical aspects in footwear design from sketching and pattern cutting to assembly procedures of the shoe uppers. It covers the classical styles in court shoes, sandals, men/women shoes, shoes for infants, moccasin cuts, slippers, and low boots.

We offer both long-term (One-Year, Semester, and Master's) and short-term (Short, and Summer Intensive) programs.

During the summer (from May until the end of September), we offer a special program called "Summer Intensive Course" (from 2 to 12 weeks) which includes housing, meals, and extracurricular activities and services.
