RAMA DAUHAN
Fashion Designer
“ESMOD Jakarta gave me more than technical skills, it shaped the way! think. It taught me how to transform ideas into meaningful designs while building the creativity, discipline, and confidence to trust my own perspective. Today, as I run my own fashion brand, I continue to draw on the foundation I built at ESMOD Jakarta. The skills remain valuable, but it is the mindset, curiosity, and purpose-driven approach to design that have stayed with me long after graduation.”
GLOBAL MOBILITY
Connecting ESMOD Jakarta to a Global Fashion Education Network
As ESMOD Jakarta marks 30 years of its journey in Indonesia, it introduces the Global Mobility Pathway, an initiative that gives students the opportunity to gain international learning experiences and exposure through the ESMOD network in France, Tokyo, Dubai, and Seoul.
Through the programme, students can begin their education at ESMOD Jakarta before continuing their studies at one of the ESMOD campuses within the international network. This pathway allows students to experience different fashion environments, broaden their creative perspectives, gain insight into the dynamics of the global fashion industry, and build international connections that can support their future careers.
A Global Learning Ecosystem That Brings Knowledge Back to Indonesia
As the fashion industry becomes increasingly interconnected, emerging talents need the ability to adapt across cultures, understand diverse perspectives, and navigate different industry environments.
Through the Global Mobility Pathway, ESMOD Jakarta provides students with the opportunity to experience a global perspective firsthand.
Beyond studying abroad, the programme is designed to create a bridge between international learning and the Indonesian creative ecosystem. Students can bring back new knowledge, connections, and perspectives to contribute to the development of Indonesia’s fashion and creative industries.
The Global Mobility Pathway also creates opportunities for students from across the ESMOD International network to study at ESMOD Jakarta. This two-way exchange contributes to a more diverse learning environment while positioning Indonesia as an active part of the global fashion education ecosystem.
Through their experience in Jakarta, international students can discover Indonesia’s rich cultural and creative landscape, including traditional textiles, craftsmanship, heritage, and local creative practices. These elements can serve as a source of inspiration for their own creative development.
ACCREDITATION
ESMOD Jakarta offers students the opportunity to earn an internationally recognized ESMOD Diploma, alongside the option to pursue an Applied Bachelor’s Degree (D4) recognized by the Indonesian Government. This combination provides students with both international academic exposure and a nationally recognized higher education qualification.
