BA (Hons) Fashion
Our BA (Hons) Fashion programme supports you to develop skills in design development, pattern cutting, garment manufacture, fashion illustration, CAD for technical drawings, as well as for use in communicating your portfolio of work. We'll offer you the chance to enhance your employment prospects by undertaking a placement in one of a range of fashion areas, such as fashion design, CAD design, pattern cutting, garment technology, forecasting or styling.
Our Fashion degrees are part of the University’s Bolton School of the Arts and offer access to surface design and embroidered textiles for the production of innovative fashion outcomes. Our courses are driven by a considered approach to design, and explore the impact of fashion at the individual, local, national and international levels. Alongside trend and concept-led collections, you'll consider the performance, functionality and longevity of clothing for different purposes. Awareness of sustainability and ethical practice is also embedded in the course. We’ll encourage you to balance your individual creative expression with industry awareness for fashion production.
You’ll have the chance to use the latest reports from the Worth Global Style Network and benefit from the University’s extensive industry links for live project briefs. We'll also support you as you work to develop your appreciation of the design timeline, the trend prediction industry, and consumer research.
Our courses offer moderate group sizes to ensure you can enjoy regular feedback on your progress in all areas from our dedicated and knowledgeable staff. We know all our students as individuals and offer you the opportunity to find your unique creative voice.
