Programme
At the start of the course you will be required to attend a short induction event at the college in order to meet the course team, fellow students and become familiar with our Virtual Learning Environment. After this event the course is then conducted entirely online with a series of web seminars and tutorials taking place throughout the academic year. You will gain experience of current professional practice through simulated industrial projects and activities developed in conjunction with practitioners.
You will also have the opportunity to undertake work-based learning and gain experience of the working practices of the fashion marketing, media and promotion industries. The depth and range of study allows you to access careers in a wide range of global commercial enterprises related to the fashion industries. By virtue of its innovative mode of delivery, information technologies and electronic communication for presentation and promotional purposes are embedded within the programme.
The Personal and Professional Development elements of the course will allow you to reflect upon your achievements and to develop a portfolio of transferable skills relevant to future employment and further study. Teamwork is also a strong theme of the programme; you are encouraged to work collaboratively and to develop the appropriate interpersonal skills for the fashion and related industries.
