Bachelor of Design - Fashion

The Fashion major offers students a dynamic learning experience that delivers a contemporary program in a vibrant studio environment. The course encourages students to develop their own individual style through projects that reflect the diversity of the global fashion industry and endorses the exploration of pioneering and conceptual approaches to their work.

What this major covers
The initial focus of the degree is based on the exploration of creativity through design research and fashion theory and the interrelationship of these topics with the broader design process - from concept to final product. This approach is underpinned by core studio and fashion studio papers which give students the fundamentals of the creative process and an understanding of the technical development of garments. In the final year of the degree, students put these skills into practise through innovative self directed projects that cover the spectrum of fashion related disciplines.
