Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Fashion Media with Foundation Year (with Placement Option)

Program Overview

If you're not quite ready for a full undergraduate degree, there's alternative entry through one of our foundation years.
If you would like to gain a professional portfolio in a wide variety of media disciplines including journalism, photography, marketing, trend forecasting and digital design to help to maximise your job opportunities in the fashion industry, this is the course for you.
BA (Hons) Fashion Media scored 94% overall student satisfaction for NSS 2020.

The fashion industry is increasingly looking for dynamic and multi-skilled practitioners to produce a range of content across editorial and commercial platforms. This course bridges the gap between core fashion communication disciplines such as social media, journalism, photography and advertising with digital media, event management and film-making creating a dynamic, multi-disciplinary, industry-designed degree programme.
Throughout the degree, you will work in a simulated real-world media environment and have the opportunity to explore your unique voice as a storyteller using words, pictures, film, art direction and design to create the innovative content of the future. You will also analyse markets and understand how the editorial and commercial world connect and design innovative and fresh ways to engage audiences, translating a passion for fashion and lifestyle content to a global multimedia stage.
The course is taught by academics with extensive professional experience and industry contacts, meaning you can benefit from a range of guest lectures to learn valuable insight. Recent speakers have included representatives from Vogue International, Glamour, Grazia, VICE, Wonderland, Alexander McQueen, The Daily Mail, Oasis, Topshop and Google.
To complement your studies and aid employability, you will be expected to complete a minimum 100 hours work experience to help develop a dynamic portfolio, a global awareness of skills and how to use them to best effect, and a working knowledge of the industry.
