Course Summary

On our highly-ranked fashion degree course, you’ll not only develop your research, design and garment construction skills, but have the opportunity to discover who you are, what you believe in and how this will focus your design handwriting. Alongside working with a passionate team of staff you will have plenty of opportunities to put your creativity to the test in an industry setting, both through the placement module and live industry projects. This Fashion Design degree course uses the fantastic links it has with the industry, with previous students presenting their designs at London, Milan, and New York fashion week. You will become part of the fashion design family at Salford where drive, innovation, individuality is celebrated and utilised. This course will give you a realistic understanding of what it’s like to work in the fashion industry today. You’ll learn through both practical modules that allow you to get hands-on and let your creativity run wild, and contextual projects that help you align your studio work with past, current and future contexts that impact our industry. Over the course of three years, you’ll master fundamental technical skills associated with fashion design and clothing construction, as well as gain a theoretical understanding of the cultural contexts surrounding the industry. You’ll not only be well prepared for what’s to come in the future of fashion but have a deeper understanding of how the industry works. You’ll have the opportunity to undertake a work placement module in your second year, with past students doing placements at brands such as Alexander McQueen, Adam Lippes, Christopher Kane, Iris van Herpen, Jonathan Saunders, Markus Lupfer, Aitor Throup, Anna Sui, Vera Wang, and Viktor & Rolf.
