The revised evaluation methodology emphasizes quality
The Business of Fashion (BoF) assessment has been carried out annually since 2015. Due to feedback mainly from the fashion schools themselves, the methodology and evaluation criteria was renewed during 2018. The assessment methodology now focuses more on quality rather than numbers, i.e. it better takes in account the quality of teaching, learning environment and infrastructure.
Global influence considers the global reputation and influence of a school as well as the selectivity of a school in admitting applicants and the enrolment rates of admitted applicants; learning experience considers students鈥 experience while in school and the quality of teaching and the resources available at the institution; and long-term value considers the students' preparedness for the real world, based on student progression rates provided by the schools, assessing student satisfaction around employment, career preparedness and accessibility of alumni.
The assessment examines data gathered from 95 programmes at 43 institutions in 16 countries around the world. Survey was completed by 13,500 students and alumni and feedback from leading HR and industry professionals, global fashion school faculty and input from the new BoF Education Council, a committee comprised of 12 global experts from fashion education and industry.
