CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

 The part-time Fashion Design short course gives you entry to the exciting world of fashion but not access to a career as a professional fashion designer. The knowledge gained from a part-time short course cannot be compared with a 3 year full-time fashion qualification.

Also, a fully trained fashion designer has to know about pattern design which is not in this course. A part-time short course in Patternmaking is available to complement this course and develop your understanding of the relationship between the design and manufacture stages. Again, the patternmaking Patternmaking part-time short course cannot be compared with the 3 year full-time undergraduate qualification.

What you will be able to do after the successful completion of the Fashion Design short course is:

• Design basic fashion apparel that represents a large portion of apparel sold today
• Understand the key principles that underscore all fashion design practice
• Become a creative director of a fashion brand

And if you are really talented in this field you will be able to continue developing your fashion design knowledge on your own.

Every successful journey has to begin somewhere. And understanding the basics of the design craft and the ‘language’ of fashion design may be the best “somewhere” for you.
