Objectives
Building 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.
