The annual Shoe Design program aims to train young professionals who can produce any type of footwear, developing various bases for the perfect realization.

Shoes, symbols par excellence of feminine allure and sensuality, are one of the most important fashion accessories; over time, they have also become vitally important for men as well. Objects of desire and passion, shoes can celebrate and complement the look and personality of the person wearing them. However, creating fashion footwear requires technical and design skills, creativity, and a solid knowledge of fashion and market trends

Students will learn all the necessary techniques of shoemaking, from the basic to high-level. In addition to various types of shoes, students can study shoes for specific necessities, such as shoes pursuing “simplicity and comfort”, “durability”, “functional shoes for feet with medical problems”, “elegance for parties”, etc. and acquire skills enough to start up their career as a shoemaker.

This programme aims to enable students to become "graduates of choice" for a rapidly changing global fashion design industry, and to equip graduates to enter the world of work at a professional level, who can intelligently and skilfully engage with emerging issues and opportunities, particularly in Mainland China. It also aims to develop students' creative and practical abilities, and provides a sound grounding in the theoretical and technical aspects of the subject, enabling them to become masters in making, driven by informed conceptualisation.

The Footwearists offer a unique program, focused on positive impact and innovation for the footwear industry by educating footwear entrepreneurs, forecasters and consultants.
