It’s a great place to study because it combines excellent academic support with real-world opportunities. The faculty and courses are highly engaging and provide guidance at every step—from building your skills and portfolio to preparing for interviews and connecting with industry professionals. Beyond the classroom, the university offers valuable access to internships and projects that give hands-on experience, helping you develop practical skills and confidence before graduation.

The university’s support played a key role in making my internship experience so rewarding. From the very beginning, the course helped me craft a standout CV, develop a polished portfolio, and prepare thoroughly for interviews, while also connecting me with industry professionals who provided valuable guidance. This support gave me the confidence and tools I needed to navigate the competitive application process and enhance my employability. During my internship, I gained hands-on experience and insights into real-world working practices that I simply wouldn’t have learned in the classroom. From understanding the pace and demands of the industry to seeing how creative ideas are brought to life in a professional environment, I gained invaluable insights that bridged academic learning with practical experience. This was all made possible through my incredible internship at Tom Ford, which allowed me to apply everything I had learned and further develop my skills in a real-world setting

- Facilities for fashion design are the best they can be. Each student in their final year has their own sewing machine and desk. With access to all industry-standard equipment, clothing patterns and print facilities. - Tutors push the students whilst being encouraging and supportive. - They have really nurtured my way of working and given me confidence for my career going forward. - The course is very industry focused whilst being paired with creativity, something that gives it an edge within the fashion design world. As this balance of creativity and technical skill is what helps set students up to get in such a demanding industry.

We have tutorials for each module once a week. It would be ideal if there were more in-depth tutorials than this; however, with funding and cutbacks across all universities, this is understood, and the trade-off is that we get great facilities, space and time in the studios to work late.
