UndergraduateCourse summary
Fashion is so much more than clothes! Welcome to our career-focused Fashion Promotion Degree, where creativity meets strategy. You’ll learn how Fashion Promotion fuels the multi-billion pound UK fashion industry, and how to become part of it. Dive deep into branding, public relations, and digital marketing. Learn how to design campaigns using the latest software. Shoot, style and edit for fashion photography and video. Create written and image-based content for PR, fashion journalism and social media. Collaborate on real-world projects and gain invaluable professional experience. Our modules are developed in partnership with professionals, ensuring you're well-equipped to carve out your future in the ever-changing fashion industry.
Modules
The course is designed to take you on a progressive learning journey that begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of Fashion Promotion. During the first year, you will learn how to decipher briefs, and why good research unlocks the door to creativity. The modules are 100% coursework and blend research, theory and creative practice. This provides learners to explore their ideas from an academic platform. The second-year focusses on developing commercial awareness and professional skills through undertaking short term work placement or a live brief. The power of word and image are explored at a deeper and more complex level via two key modules: Digital Content Creation and Fashion Media PR. The final year provides an opportunity to create a body of work that reflects your chosen area of interest. Dissertations are offered in written or video formats which we believe give students a modern approach to this traditional academic requirement. The final major project focusses on your personal area of interest and expertise through a highly creative, industry-standard project which demonstrates your knowledge, skills and ability to potential employers.
Assessment method
Assessment is 100% coursework. There is a mixture of structured peer-assessment and group-based assessment based upon performance and self-assessment allowing reflective opportunities. The mix of assignments includes practical investigation through studio, workshop and group activities, case study investigations and follow-up investigations after industrial visits and projects. All assessments are underpinned by key theories and academic research.
