Our Global Design School
Raffles Milano is a global design school where students work side by side with faculty on hybrid, experimental and research projects, breaking down cultural, technological and geographical barriers.
Sir Stamford Raffles, Western envoy as governor of Java, explored and revealed a vast swathe of Asia to the world. A pioneer of humanism in the 19th century, he contributed significantly to the abolition of slavery, and was a philanthropist, scholar, researcher, and founder of the Zoological Society. In 1819, Raffles founded the state of Singapore.
Our institute is founded on these fundamental principles: the centrality of the individual, transdisciplinarity, innovation in research, and a genuine cosmopolitan spirit.
Raffles Milano is also Raffles Education: the international network listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange.
Founded in Singapore in 1990, Raffles Education is now a vast network of 13 colleges and universities spread across eight countries in Asia-Pacific and Europe: Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, and China.
Rules, respect for others, and respect for space are important to us.
