Develop the advanced knowledge and skills required to become a confident fashion designer with a clear style identity on our BA (Hons) Fashion Design course.
With access to the latest technology, including a Gerber suite for computerised pattern development, you'll master all the skills you need to come up with creative fashion visions and bring them to life.
We pride ourselves on having no specific house style, so you’ll have the freedom to establish your own design identity, supported by a community of like-minded peers and a team of professional staff with a wealth of industry experience.
As part of the course, you’ll tackle briefs from brands such as Reiss, Warehouse and Tommy Hilfiger and be given the chance to show off your work at high-profile international events. You’ll also enter your work in competitions; previous students have achieved success at Graduate Fashion Week and in many other national and international fashion design contests.
Course Details - Modules
In Year 1 you'll be introduced to fashion design through lectures, seminars and practical workshops where emphasis is placed on developing core skills and a sound awareness and understanding of your chosen subject. The focus is on developing practical design and study skills and contextual awareness. These foundational tools will enable you to apply and express your creativity through a variety of methods. In Year 2 you'll become more independent in your approach to your learning. You are encouraged to challenge tried and tested approaches to design and pattern cutting in order to stimulate fresh and innovative ideas which you can continue to build on into your final year. In Year 3 you'll pursue and develop your own design identity, focusing your work towards your long-term career aspirations, and produce a six-outfit collection.
