Course Content


Year 1

The first year establishes the fundamentals in fashion business, textile science and technology through the core units in fashion buying, management, and marketing and the core textile science and garment technology units where students are introduced to fibres, materials, fabrics, and textile production processes.


Year 2

The second year explores specific aspects of management and marketing in depth with subjects such as Product development, Operations Management, Fashion Business and Analysis and Garment Production technology. The specialist focus of the course in the second year considers various aspects of managing the fashion supply chain. There are optional subjects such as circular design for products, technical textile structures, digital branding, international business and sustainable approaches to fashion business and fashion promotions and the instore environment.

The final year provides an opportunity to consolidate and extend specialist knowledge in areas of management studied in previous years. You may choose from a range of fashion business options within leadership, sustainability, and fashion business in the digital age. The final year projects allow you to specialise in an area of your choice, for example focusing on developing a broader corporate strategy for a fashion business, the development of a business start-up company or a project that combines business skills and innovative materials and technologies for emerging fashion and textiles markets.
