You explore the social, cultural and historical context of fashion design to help inform your own practice as a designer.
Excellent industry links and work placements will help you to develop a real understanding of the fashion industry and your work experience will be vital in helping you to choose your specialist study pathway in year two of the course.
You can specialise in enterprise or design innovation, with both options eventually leading to separate awards of either BA (Hons) Fashion (Design Innovation) or BA (Hons) Fashion (Enterprise).
The four year course includes a specialist foundation year that will allow you to explore many areas of fashion including; fashion photography, styling, promotion, illustration, editorial design and media.
