Tutors who are industry professionals give students the technical training, design understanding and realisation techniques essential for a career in the textile or fashion industries. The course allows students to develop their understanding of the design process in both a textiles and fashion context before choosing which pathway they would like to explore further. (Students opt to study a fashion or textiles pathway after exploring both areas to make an informed decision). The fashion pathway gives students an outstanding understanding of the whole design process from pattern cutting and garment production through to historical and contextual referencing, fashion illustration skills, presentation techniques and portfolio building. Emphasis is placed on professional practice with students working in a studio full of industry standard equipment and benefitting from regular live projects set by practicing fashion designers and informative educational and residential visits to industry and centres of fashion excellence such as Paris and Antwerp. Students are also entered into a wide range of industry led competitions with great success. In 2011/12 one of our students beat off competition from 50,000 other entrants to win the Clothes Show Young Designer of the Year Award! Final grades will give the maximum UCAS point score of 420. Successful completion of the course gives the qualifications and skills required to progress into a range of Degree or Foundation Degree courses or to go directly into employment. Career pathways include: Designer for men, women or children over a wide range of specialist markets including; Bridalwear, Sportswear, Accessories, Lingerie, Costume, Pattern Cutter/Grader, Visual Merchandiser, Fashion Illustrator, Fashion Photographer, Journalist or Stylist.
