Course summary
How do fashion products grow from design concepts to must-have purchases? From factory floors to shop shelves, what does their journey to market look like? How do we ensure that fibres and fabrics are ethically sourced, and that manufacturing and packaging are sustainable? And where does profitability fit in? If you dream of becoming a fashion buyer or merchandiser, or you’re fascinated by retail, you’ve found your perfect course. From boutique to big business, explore a fast-paced global industry from every angle — supply and demand cycles, production costs and lead times, where things are best manufactured (and why), how to market products in an enticing, innovative way, and more. Working with experts, you’ll be partnering real businesses to tackle real challenges around real products. Maybe you’re interested in fabrics and the latest manufacturing technology; maybe you’re a born number-cruncher and trend-spotter; maybe you want to manage your own label, and push back against fast fashion. Step into the world of all things fashion business, choose your own pathways and specialisms, and we’ll help you to make your mark in this dynamic industry. Key features
- Gain hands-on industry experience: You’ll have the opportunity to complete a work experience placement of up to a year in length. Dependent on the duration of your placement, you could gain an additional Diploma or Certificate in Professional Practice.
- Work on live briefs with leading brands: Work with major brands like Next, Gymshark, Oh Polly and Ralph Lauren on challenging real-world projects.
- Study abroad at leading fashion schools: Study abroad with one of our international partners, such as the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.
- Explore fashion capitals: Visit the UK’s fashion hubs, and enjoy an optional study trip to one of Europe’s top style capitals.
