Partnership between Istituto Marangoni and the University of Milan in the field of beauty
From the start of the 2026/2027 academic year, a partnership will be in place between Istituto Marangoni Milan and the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Milan, offering students an even more comprehensive educational programme that combines creativity, management and scientific expertise. The collaboration is aimed at developing educational activities between the two institutions, with the objective of fostering the training of highly qualified professionals by integrating the University’s scientific and laboratory expertise with the design, creative and professional skills of Istituto Marangoni Milan, an internationally renowned institution which, for over 90 years, has been training professionals for the creative industries and which is now further strengthening its role in management training and the beauty sector.
The partnership also enables the introduction and delivery of joint courses, the mutual recognition of study programmes and credits, and the organisation of dissertations, practical sessions, seminars, work placements and other joint educational initiatives.
Thanks to this collaboration, from the next academic year onwards, students on the First-Level Academic Diploma Course in Fragrances & Cosmetics Product and Communication at Marangoni will be able to attend specially organised lectures delivered by the University’s lecturers as part of the ‘Materials Science and Technology’ and ‘Integrated Product Design’ modules, as well as specific laboratory sessions at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Milan, to gain a first-hand understanding of the scientific and technical aspects underpinning the creation of beauty products.
Similarly, students on the Master’s degree programme in Cosmetic Industrial Science (CosmIS) at the University of Milan will have the opportunity to attend, at the Institute’s prestigious Palazzo Turati campus, the Trend Research course – a distinctive feature of the Marangoni approach – aimed at developing the ability to analyse global trends, consumer insights and innovation strategies.
This partnership confirms Istituto Marangoni Milano’s commitment to developing training programmes that are increasingly aligned with the needs of the industry, strengthening the dialogue between creativity, management, scientific research and innovation. “This partnership with the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Milan represents a significant step towards building an increasingly integrated educational model, in which scientific, design and managerial skills work in tandem to meet the challenges of a constantly evolving market. We are convinced that cross-disciplinary collaboration is now an essential element in training professionals capable of innovating, generating value and interpreting the transformations in the wellness and lifestyle sectors with vision,” said Paolo Meroni, School Director at Istituto Marangoni Milan.
