Course Overview

The BA (Hons) Fashion Studies Top-Up degree allows students who have completed a relevant qualification such as a BTEC, HND or a Foundation degree to fast-track their path to a full undergraduate degree. This programme is also suitable for returners looking to upgrade their skills and qualifications to improve their employability or in preparation for a return to study ready for a fashion Master's programme. This programme is of particular interest as well for international students looking to top up their qualifications with an undergraduate fashion degree from a reputable UK university.

The BA (Hons) in Fashion Studies course is a great way to formalise your work experience, prepare you to become a leader in the fashion industry, change your career path or start your own fashion business. It provides knowledge and skills in the fashion industry, up-to-date business and management processes, opportunities to create an industry-relevant fashion portfolio, and a final major project relevant to your career aspirations.

Fashion at the University of East London has innovation and enterprise at its heart. Together with industry partners, we seek to improve upon and challenge the current fashion offering with bold, influential students who will be tomorrow's industry leaders. With a shortage of skills across many diverse avenues within fashion, the course will fill the gap in these newly risen markets, preparing prospective students for a more viable creative future.
