BA (Hons) Fashion at Norwich University of the Arts (Norwich) combines creative thinking with technical skill and understanding, enabling our graduates to fulfil professional ambitions in a wide variety of roles across the creative industries and beyond. Visual research, conceptual thinking, material explorations of form and silhouette alongside commercial awareness and professional communication skills enable you to find your creative voice within a supportive and shared fashion experience. The course is forward-looking in its approach, preparing graduates for an ever-evolving industry, meeting the needs of commerciality while embracing ethical responsibility and inclusive design. Determination, adaptability and prepared for change are key attributes of our Fashion graduates.
KEY FEATURES- Study a fast-paced and varied curriculum of fundamental fashion in which the individual student voice is developed through personal choice of research topics, client profiles and garment/collection outcomes - Core topics referenced within studio projects include contemporary narratives on craft practices and traditional tailoring, creative cut and digital fashion, as well as international relations, social, cultural and gender identities - Undertake numerous projects during the course that encourage you to take risks with both thinking and making, designing for wide-ranging customer profiles, products, and contexts across the spectrum of fashion - Through hands-on practical workshops you will undertake design challenges in well-equipped fashion and textile workshops to answer industry-relevant briefs - Gain industry awareness through lectures and seminars by the staff team as well as external guest speakers, adding context and further understanding to your studies.
YOUR FUTUREThe final year of the course enables you to identify a personal strategy, through practical and theoretical research, development, and outcomes, to evidence the required skills and attributes for your future direction. This may include a fashion collection alongside other outcomes appropriate to your intended ambitions. You will complete a Research Report on a relevant area of the industry, propose and deliver a Final Major Project that showcases your readiness for graduation, and reflect on your interests, strengths, and self-defined career ambitions to generate a professional career development plan. Transferable skills are developed throughout the course within the learning and teaching environment as well as through extra-curricular projects and opportunities. Strong communication skills, negotiation, team-working and time management are highly desirable employability skills. Projects with industry enable you to present your work for industry feedback and gain commercial and creative exposure, developing your aspirations during your studies. We have recently worked with brands including John Lewis, Oasis, Superdry, Oliver Bonas, Ralph Lauren, Escada Sport, New Look and YKK on industry-focused projects. Past students have achieved industry recognition including success in competitions with British Fashion Council, Graduate Fashion Week, Anne Tyrrell Student Design Award, Golden Shears, and the international Arts of Fashion awards. Graduates of the course have secured diverse roles in fashion-related positions and beyond including design roles at H&M, Ted Baker, Victoria Beckham, Marks & Spencer, Outfit Arcadia Group and Blakely and manufacturing roles in companies including Yarmouth Oilskins. Others have progressed to post graduate research, in areas such as bio-material research and creative health for art therapy.
