Our BA (Hons) Fashion programme has been designed to give graduates the tools to become innovative fashion practitioners, incorporating marketing, communication, entrepreneurship, modern craftmanship and contemporary practice, establishing their own personal fashion journal throughout three years. You will cultivate both the creative, communication and practical skills needed to work in the global fashion industry; from producing fashion product to brand communication and realisation Across the three years, modules are underpinned with marketing communication skills, art direction, fashion styling and sustainable design consideration, enabling students to position themselves relevantly within the evolving fashion industries. Skills with new and emerging digital technologies will be nurtured and implemented into your design and production process, exploring virtual 2D & 3D simulation software. This programme will offer you the opportunity to engage with industry through client-led briefs, international competitions and the experience to collaborate your practice across multiple art-based disciplines throughout the school. Within the final year you will refine your skills to develop a graduation project in your specialised area of fashion from design, styling to fashion marketing. During the degree, you will be encouraged to seek work experience opportunities and partake in national and international visits. Collaborative projects and placement opportunities are highly encouraged during your study to establish yourself as an emerging designer within this growing and fast paced industry.
Imagine being part of the fast-paced fashion industries? Our programme offers you a broad range of fashion relevant skills to allow students to tailor, select and choose the fashion areas of specialism you want to pursue; whether it’s design, construction, fashion styling or fashion communication.

In this specialist fashion programme, we support you to explore aspects of fashion design with digital innovation, and enterprise, where you will learn the fundamental skills of design practice and industrial skills of the future. The supportive experience of learning in our institution will nurture your ability to take risks and develop your creative identity. Through challenging project briefs that are closely aligned with industry, you will develop your own artistic output whilst finding your own form of self-expression through fabric, shape, and finish for fashion products.

The course embeds new digital technologies into your learning experience, preparing you for the digital advances in the industry, and applying this to a range of disciplines, from design and construction to communication and marketing. You will be introduced to virtual 2D & 3D garment simulation software and digital visualising techniques for implementation and portfolio. The development of key skills will underpin your learning through the study of the principles of fashion marketing, promotion, contextual understanding, trend forecasting and styling – all giving you a deeper understanding and experience of skills and opportunities needed within the current and future fashion industries. Emphasis on customer, trend and communication are embedded throughout the curriculum, with the circular economy and sustainability being a core factor of all our working projects.
