COURSE CURRICULUM

The core modules in this fashion-focused program are designed to provide students with both technical expertise and professional engagement opportunities to prepare them for a successful career in the industry. The Identify Concepts and Technologies module encourages students to critically reflect on their own work, exploring advanced research areas in fashion, particularly in clothing and textile construction. This involves integrating both modern and historical-making processes to develop sustainable and ethical design practices. The Define: Concepts and Technologies module then pushes students to critically reflect on their initial research, refining their conceptual and technical practices to produce independent and original work that demonstrates their professional progress.In the Define: Live Industry Project module, students gain hands-on experience by engaging with the industry through live projects, offering opportunities to design, curate, and present their collections in exhibitions or installations. This prepares students to work in real-world contexts and fine-tune their creative outputs. The Professional Life: Advanced Fashion Portfolio (Mental Wealth) module encourages students to take on professional roles relevant to their practice, whether through designing workshops, managing projects, or leading digital campaigns. It allows students to further refine their professional identity and skills in alignment with their career goals.The Consolidate: Concept and Technologies module marks a culmination of the program, where students develop a cohesive body of work for exhibition, reflecting the depth and sophistication required for a Master's qualification. Finally, the Fashion Consultancy Project/Internship module provides an invaluable opportunity to undertake a 10-12 week industry placement. Students gain practical experience, enhance employability, and network with professionals, which may lead to mentorship opportunities and deeper industry connections. Through these modules, students are not only equipped with the necessary technical skills but also gain practical exposure, ensuring they are ready to excel in the competitive world of fashion.
