Are you interested in the making of fashion or the business of fashion?

Have you ever wondered how a garment has been constructed or are intrigued by the processes involved in making and manipulating fabric, then you may want to consider one of our Fashion Design, Textile, and Knitwear courses. Each one of these courses is tailored to those who are interested in the physical creation and tactile elements of fashion and allows you to explore your creativity in traditional and innovative ways.

On the other hand, we have many courses available to those who are more interested in the strategic work of the fashion industry including promotion, marketing, communications, creative direction, and management. Each course has a unique aspect allowing you to specialise in your chosen field or have a holistic view across the entire business of fashion.
