Leeds Beckett University

Leeds , England ,United Kingdom

MA Fashion

You will choose one of three strands to specialize in fashion design, visual communication for fashion, or fashion writing.

The fashion writing strand will be taught through an engaging mix of lectures, seminars, and workshops. If you study either the fashion design or visual communication for fashion strands, the majority of your course will be delivered in a hands-on studio environment. Regardless of your specialism, you will be taught in our industry-standard facilities.

In addition to your chosen specialist strand, you will complete a core module in Research Methods, which will equip you with the knowledge you will need to complete in-depth research and produce a proposal for your independent projects. You will also complete a dissertation, which will be related to your Independent Project modules.

Depending on your chosen specialism, you will delve deeper into an area of personal interest. The fashion-writing strand offers you the opportunity to develop skills related to the creation of editorial content – be it print magazines, online writing, or promotional work. There is scope on the course to enhance your written skills to a professional standard, specifically in relation to fashion journalism, but you’ll also be encouraged to think creatively and innovatively with regards to the publishing industry as a whole.
