Course summary

If you are passionate about fashion and ambitious to work in branding, marketing, merchandising, buying, styling, PR, live events, promotion or digital communications this course provides a fantastic platform from which you can launch your career. This innovative degree provides two distinct routes into careers within the fashion industry. You will study both marketing and promotion in the first year then choose the path you wish to follow. A core of study within both routes provides a joint learning experience for both pathways as skills and competences are built and industry based project work is realised. By studying at the University of Northampton, you can be sure that:

• You will experience student life at the University’s £330 million Waterside Campus. Come along to an Open Day and find out more.
