北京時間3月4日，2021年QS世界大學學科排名正式公布， NABA出現在世界最佳藝術和設計大學的前100名中，是意大利排名第一的美院，也是意大利進入此排名僅有的三所大學院校之一。
QS世界大學學科排名，囊括了全球最受學生歡迎的51個學科，是同類排名中最全面的排名。它的排名彰顯了學校在學科領域的絕對實力。本次QS世界大學學科排名在藝術與設計領域，使用了兩個嚴格且獨立的標準來進行評比：
學術聲譽：學術界對院校學術表現的評價。
雇主聲譽：全球的畢業生雇主確定他們認為能培養出最好畢業生的大學。
對此殊榮，NABA校長Guido Tattoni表示：
這絕對是值得紀念和慶賀的一天：我們很榮幸成為世界上藝術與設計領域100所最好的大學之一。 恰逢NABA成立40周年之際，就為NABA取得了一項重要的成就。這要歸功于NABA全體教職員工和所有從事藝術與設計領域工作的人們的貢獻！”
