This BA (Hons) Fashion degree focuses on developing your creative and intellectual capabilities to set you up for a career in fashion design across a broad industry such as luxury fashion houses, high street brands, and independent designers.

You’ll develop a theoretical and practical understanding of pattern cutting and garment construction which will allow you to develop your design style and ideas from drawings into finished garments. You’ll also learn about current influences and the changing forces in design across the fashion design industry.

You’ll study a range of specialised courses in fashion design, creation, and related marketing and photography studies. You’ll develop the skills, techniques, and knowledge to create your fashion collection in your final year, which will be unveiled during your final year Graduate Showcase.
