What you'll study

Teaching is project-based and studio-led, with recurring garment construction and craft workshops each semester to support design projects. Core emphases described by the programme include:

• Design studio courses and hands-on projects that develop a creative process and the ability to address material, social and cultural factors in garments.
• Sustainability and social responsibility: experimentation with sustainable materials and processes, supply-chain and labour-impact analysis, and design approaches that minimise environmental and social harm.
• Fashion tech and craft: a mix of traditional techniques (draping, hand-stitching) and emerging tools (digital fashion, AI) practised in dedicated labs and workshops.
• The business of fashion: coursework covering fashion production, distribution, marketing, sales, e-commerce and start-up skills, plus brand development leading into the final thesis collection.
• Optional multidisciplinary enhancement via an additional specialised diploma in Product Design, Graphic Design, or Interior Design to broaden a student’s profile.
• Access to creative facilities such as the Creative Campus studios, Fab Lab, bio lab and the Fashion Studio Lab for prototyping, material exploration and digital testing.
