To do this we have created three pathways that allow you to play to your strengths, with the flexibility to select the outcome that works best for you.- Our conceptual places the emphasis on the manufacture of garments using creative shape-making, avant-garde silhouettes, sustainable textile solutions and pushing the boundaries with forward-thinking concepts, creating an outstanding final collection.- Our commercial pathway places the emphasis on CAD, 2D design and trend awareness, creating garments for specific customers. Brief outcomes would still include garment manufacture, but your folio work has a higher weighting.- Finally, our enterprise pathway encompasses the growing trend for start-up businesses within the fashion field. You will work on the fashion briefs to build skills in manufacture, pattern cutting and design, but you will have enterprise modules thought the three years of study, meaning you are far more knowledgeable about setting up your own business upon graduation.**Why study with us**- Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Fashion Design is ranked 2nd in the UK (Guardian University Guide 2021)- Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Fashion Design is ranked 6th in the UK with 98% of students satisfied with teaching (National Student Survey 2020)- Our Fashion courses are ranked in the Top 80 of the Best Fashion Schools in the World for 2020 (CEOWORLD Magazine).**Further Information**- We have enjoyed numerous successes in national and international competitions.
