BA (Hons) Fashion Buying and Merchandising 2021

I never imagined myself as a ‘fashion student’ as such, as I never felt like I was creative or artistic enough. However, life at Manchester Metropolitan, particularly this course through The Manchester Fashion institute helped me understand the fashion-business blend in the changing, challenging, and dynamic industry. The knowledge and experience of the staff are second to none, their industry experiences mean they consistently provide you with support, guidance, and enthusiasm. This gave me the confidence that I was entering the fashion buying and merchandising world with a respected degree. The course gave me a taster of all fashion roles and their expected duties, making you a well-rounded, employable, and innovative student when you graduate.
