Graduate Diploma Fashion Marketing and Communication
ObjectivesBuilding on the established tradition of Fashion Marketing and Communication at NTU, the course will help you improve your understanding of the symbiotic relationship between the worlds of business and marketing and that of fashion and design. This course will provide you with an opportunity to combine creative problem solving skills and visual literacy with brand management skills and marketing strategies in the context of contemporary practice within the fashion industry. By introducing you to a range of vocational roles such as fashion forecasting, visual merchandising, events management or product development, this course can prepare you for education at Masters level or support a future career in the fashion industry. These unique courses provide a one-year progression route to Masters level study. For overseas students this is an invaluable opportunity to develop research methods and abilities whilst learning more in a specific subject area. For domestic students, the Graduate Diploma in Fashion Marketing and Communication provides a bridge from first degree experiences which may not be directly aligned to a Masters subject, or where professional reorientation is needed to further career development.
Entry requirementsEntry requirements * An honours degree in related subject area Students will usually be required to possess a pass mark of 2.2 or higher (or equivalent), although applications are encouraged from candidates with other qualifications and work experience. All candidates will need to submit an application and (where possible) attend an interview designed to evaluate their suitability for the course. International students who do not speak English as their first language will need an IELTS score of 6 or TOEFL 207 (computer based) or 540 (paper based) to be eligible. The Graduate Diploma programme has been developed to provide widening participation entry routes to the School’s postgraduate degrees, particularly for adult learners continuing professional development and degrees requiring conversion to a new specialism.
