NABA will offer BAs in design, fashion design and fashion marketing management, as well as a foundation course, from the start of the 2026-27 academic year.
“London has long been a global point of reference for fashion design and artistic and creative education; and east London, as a centre for design, culture and innovation, is a key driver of the sector’s growth,” said Gavin Poole, chief executive of Here East.
“The arrival of NABA is further validation of this and of the Here East model.
“By delivering highly specialised infrastructure that meets the requirements of a global design academy of NABA’s stature, we are creating a unique environment that provides the talent and innovation required for the next generation of global creative businesses.”
Diego Mattiolo, school director and head of education at NABA, added: “The campus’s unique blend of universities and cultural institutions creates an environment where our students won’t just learn, they’ll actively contribute to shaping the future of our creative industries.”
The Here East complex was originally the International Broadcast Centre built especially for the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games and is now a 1.2m sq ft campus home to more than 30 organisations.
