Best Universities for Fashion Design in Oceania

Updated: March 15, 2026

Ranking by academic field

Below is a list of best universities in Oceania ranked based on their research performance in Fashion Design. A graph of 3.28M citations received by 128K academic papers made by 50 universities in Oceania 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.
