Course summary
BA (Hons) Fashion Design is for those students that are creative makers and design innovators. The first year covers a number of fashion topics, helping you to develop a good foundation of fashion creation and techniques including pattern cutting and toile creation. You will be introduced to the technical machines and our well-equipped workshops, as well as developing CAD skills. The second year helps you to strengthen your learning through live projects. You will develop a brand identity from your heritage, defining your own style and design aesthetic. The year ends with a work placement opportunity. Past students have worked with companies such as Ted Baker, Mary Katrantzou, Paul Smith and Gymshark. Your final year gives you the opportunities to specialise and focus on your own individual area of practice, and produce garments that reflect your personal direction as a creative fashion design graduate, ready for market or catwalk.
