Course Summary
Love fashion? Want to share that love with others? Our BA (Hons) Fashion Promotion and Communication is aimed at ambitious, creative individuals who are keen to develop a career in fashion styling, image-making and digital media.
As the rise of social media has transformed the way we consume fashion, the industry has opened a plethora of opportunities beyond the fashion designer’s role, in areas such as fashion photography, trend forecasting, styling and art direction, branding and fashion media. You’ll benefit from workshops with industry professionals, collaborations with other students and guest speakers.
