Best Universities for Fashion Design in Asia

Updated: March 02, 2025

Ranking by academic field

Below is a list of best universities in Asia ranked based on their research performance in Fashion Design. A graph of 10.6M citations received by 920K academic papers made by 1,918 universities in Asia was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.

Please note that our approach to subject rankings is based on scientific outputs and heavily biased on art-related topics towards institutions with computer science research profiles.
