If you can see yourself running catwalk shows at London Fashion Week, creating compelling campaigns for international brands or sourcing the latest trends for an online fashion retailer, then our three-year degree course could be the perfect fit for you. Fashion Business and Marketing at Winchester focuses on the commercial face of the fashion-industry, embracing digital media and the latest marketing technologies. As part of the Department of Marketing Event and Project Management within the Business School, we aim to help you become an innovative, responsible and confident marketer and manager. Our programme has links with a range of industry specialists who deliver guest lectures in areas such as fashion buying and trend forecasting, writing for fashion and how to create a successful online campaign. There are opportunities for international study in the USA and France (in the second year of study), students are supported to find work placements at London Fashion Week, and there are opportunities for field trips. Year 1 introduces you to the key theories, concepts and perspectives underpinning the subject area, as well as outlining the scope of the fashion industry. Topics include: Introduction to Academic and Professional Studies, E-Publishing, Understanding Markets, Fashion in Focus, Managing Finance, Introduction to Media, and Marketing Principles. Year 2 builds on your foundation year to provide further insight and opportunity to apply your learning in a range of areas such as Fashion Buying, Creativity Design and Innovation, Consumer Behaviour, Fashion Merchandising, Brand Identity and Design, Integrated Marketing Communications and Applied Marketing Research. By Year 3, you are ready to study in a more independent manner and to actively consider your work options before graduation. You align your final major project to your preferred career path via a range of optional taught modules, a research project, dissertation or part-time work placement. You can continue to hone your advanced skills in the following topics, which support your final major project: Fashion Media and Identity, Sustainability and Responsibility in Fashion, Strategic Brand Management, Strategic Innovation Management, Creating a Social Media Campaign and Digital Marketing. Our well prepared and skilled graduates go on to enjoy a wide range of careers within the fashion industry in marketing, media, brand management, writing and publishing, styling, advertising, public relations, trend forecasting, consumer research, buying, merchandising and visual merchandising.
