COURSE CURRICULUM

The fashion design degree offers a structured, progressive path that equips students with essential creative, technical, and business skills needed for a successful career in fashion marketing and design. In the foundation year, students build core abilities in design development, contextual understanding, and technical processes, exploring 2D and 3D applications, marketing, textiles, and prototyping. Modules encourage innovation and introduce industry-standard tools. In the first year of the degree, learners delve into technical innovation, sustainability, and global fashion systems. They gain proficiency in digital platforms like Adobe Suite and WGSN, while working on collaborative projects that enhance understanding of design thinking, marketing, and the wider fashion industry. The second year builds on these foundations by strengthening creative identity, enhancing digital and visual communication skills, and exploring global fashion trends. Students refine their creative practice through experimental work, develop their personal brand, and begin to engage with live industry briefs and placements. Modules encourage critical reflection on fashion’s cultural, political, and economic contexts, while supporting the development of professional portfolios and entrepreneurial strategies. In the final year, the focus shifts to advanced independent projects that integrate prior learning and support students’ transitions into industry roles. Students lead their own research-based initiatives, culminating in a Final Major Project and the creation of a comprehensive professional portfolio. Key modules such as Applied Innovation and Fashion Enterprise guide students in building business acumen, freelancing capabilities, and collaborative industry relationships. The Mental Wealth modules embedded across all years ensure graduates are prepared not just creatively, but also with the professional identity, strategic thinking, and confidence to succeed in a fast-paced, competitive fashion landscape. From concept development to career launch, the degree supports the holistic growth of future fashion marketers and designers.
