Course Overview

Are you looking to become a fashion designer? Learn the advanced knowledge and skills you’ll need, and gain a clear style identity, on our BA (Hons) Fashion course at UCA. With access to the latest technology, including a suite for computerized pattern development, you'll master all the skills you need to come up with creative fashion visions and bring them to life. We pride ourselves on having no specific house style, so you’ll have the freedom to establish your own design identity, supported by a community of like-minded peers and a team of professional staff with a wealth of industry experience. As part of the course, you’ll tackle briefs from brands such as Reiss, Warehouse, and Tommy Hilfiger and be given the chance to show off your work at high-profile international events. You’ll also enter your work in competitions; previous students have achieved success at Graduate Fashion Week and in many other national and international fashion design contests. You have the option to complete a Professional Practice Year as part of this course. This will allow you to develop your professional, academic and personal potential, equipping you to be confident and engaged in creative workplaces. Employers widely recognize these qualities, and a significant proportion of placement students are offered graduate-level jobs or go on postgraduate study.
