Fashion Design Technology
MA - 1 year Full-time
The fashion landscape is evolving more rapidly than ever before and the need for sustainable and innovative fashion garments, ranges, and business models has never been more urgent. Conscious approaches to both the design and realisation of a fashion product is therefore critical.
The MA Fashion Design Technology programme is aimed at students who are ready to challenge traditional fashion industry systems and want to become the catalyst for positive change in their specialism. Technology and human-centric design are at the heart of the programme. The use of technology drives the creation of new, original products and allows for experimentation beyond material resources.
This programme is accredited by The Textile Institute, the leading professional body for promoting professionalism in the textile industries. Students may fast track and apply for globally recognised professional qualifications after a shorter period of work experience and in some cases directly upon graduation.
*Note – accreditations are indicative of current agreements but these are subject to change or cancellation.
