About the course

BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development provides creative, strategic and practical skills to prepare you for a career as a fashion product designer or developer. This innovative course teaches students important research methods alongside design and manufacturing skills. Students will develop an understanding of sustainable issues within fashion design and are asked to engage directly with them.

　　BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development supports the student’s personal creative development and their ability to create fashion products through the application of informed fashion systems-thinking, industry analysis and responsible design approaches.

　　We recognise the challenges facing the global fashion industry and encourage our students to re-think current industry practices through innovation, technology and future-thinking. Students learn to develop their own individualised practice-led approaches that engage directly with real-world issues, designing solutions and product with empathy, critical thinking, and sustainable methodologies.
