Course Overview

What's covered in the course?

You will learn how fashion roles work together, as well as commercial and consumer and competitive awareness. 

You will work on a live project, as well as industry-focused briefs across the first two years and benefit from regular industry guest speakers. 

Throughout the course, we will develop your business knowledge and language, preparing you for delivering presentations, teamwork, writing reports and build skills in creating both paper and digital visual work with the aid of CAD packages.
