Course Summary

The Extended Degree in Fashion is designed to prepare students for careers in related subjects by providing a broad education which encompasses the principles, the techniques and the practices of these disciplines, and which is appropriate for the range of future specialisations. You’ll work in a creative ‘design studio’ environment, collaborating with other students studying subjects such as fashion marketing, graphic design, photography and fine art. Our commercially driven course has a track record of preparing our talented graduates for a variety of exciting careers within the fashion industry. The modules you take will give you expert insight and advanced knowledge of working practice. By your last year, you'll be perfectly equipped to follow your own path as you design your final, major project. We’re proud that our students go on to make their names as designers, design coordinators, pattern cutters, fashion technologists, product developers and retail managers. As one of our graduates Lucy Johnson, who now owns streetwear label Brahboys, says of the course, “It was a fun and emotional experience that I’d recommend to anyone thinking of a career in fashion."
