Course summary
A flexible, employment-focused fashion business course that you can adapt to your career aspirations.
- Work collaboratively with other business students and with industry to grasp the business of fashion.
- Pitch to and consult with live brands to gain real-life industry experience.
- Be the future of fashion: sustainability is threaded through all three years of this degree.
Modules
Year one - Gain a broad understanding of today’s business environment, from the context that organisations operate in, through to trends in economic thinking and the importance of managing data in business. Year two - You'll develop and expand your knowledge of global consumerism, fashion marketing strategy, and digital platforms, including e-tail and B2C. Module topics include fashion marketing and management, fashion in practice, marketing, and international business. At the end of the year, you can choose to embark on a ten-month business placement or a ten-week summer placement – applying what you’ve learned so far in the real world. Year three - You'll develop and explore your business learning, focusing on fashion marketing and visualisation. You'll also undertake an in-depth business research project in fashion, and have a chance to set up a business on your own or with fellow students. Other topics that you can explore include managing sustainability, successful freelancing, entrepreneurship, organisational strategy, leadership and management, and new trends in management.
Assessment method
You'll be assessed in a wide range of ways that will test your knowledge of the fashion business and your management skills. These could include presentations, work-related projects, group-work, computer-based simulations, podcasts, examinations, essays, videos, and business reports. We offer variety in the way we teach: sometimes we'll set you problems so you can find the answers for yourself; sometimes we'll lecture. Most modules use a mix of lectures and small group seminars. There is a good blend of online activities using our Virtual Learning Environment, Minerva. We invite business leaders in to talk about their experience and we arrange visits to local businesses. All of our teaching methods facilitate your development as a self-directed learner. You’ll also be given personal support in your studies – we're a friendly team of academics, committed to helping you achieve your goals.
