Whether you are interested in design, development or production, this unique 1-year MBO level 4 program provides you with the tools, knowledge, and experience to kickstart your career.

The denim world is at your feet! From international jeans brands to innovative fashion labels, the possibilities are endless.

What will the course be like?

Jean School specializes in Denim - Streetwear Design & Development, developed in collaboration with the House of Denim Foundation and leading fashion brands. Sustainability and craftsmanship are central.
This is a fully English-taught flexible program. In principle, you can obtain your diploma for this program within 1 year.

This program is aimed at motivated students who want to obtain an MBO diploma at a higher pace, such as HAVO students and students with an MBO diploma at level 4. It is an intensive program, and a passion for denim is a must. Before you start, we will look at what you already know and can do together with you. This way, the program will be tailored to you.

The Denim Developer program is a flexible course for Dutch and international students. You will obtain the diploma 'Medewerker Design' (Design Assistant). The program is varied. You will regularly attend guest lectures from professionals working for major jeans brands, such as Levi’s, Tommy Hilfiger, and Denham. You will also visit jeans companies and do internships. The emphasis is on craftsmanship. You will develop the technical and commercial skills needed for this profession.

You will spend many study hours, so the program demands a lot of your commitment and time. If you are unable to complete the program within 1 year, you have the option to obtain your diploma within 2 to 3 years.

Apart from the legally determined tuition/course fees, you will have to take into account additional costs for learning materials and perhaps some extras.

Learning materials
For most courses, you will need books. A laptop might also be a specific requirement.
Depending on your course, you might also need special software or clothing. 

Extras 
All curriculums are designed to help you enter the labour market as well prepared as possible. This may mean that we organise field trips or master classes for which you will have to pay an additional charge. We also believe it is important for you to buy your own tools or devices so that you can practise after school hours.  
We keep the costs as low as possible without compromising quality. Any additional costs are determined in consultation with the student representative board. If the costs are a problem and you need help, there are several forms of financial support.
