Depending on the degree type chosen, students will develop their learning over 6 to 8 modules, that aim to facilitate students to critically reflect on their initial research projects, to define their practice both conceptually and technically and produce a body of work that reflects the professional process and progress. This will evidence independent, original work and research within the subject area. Students will have the opportunity to experience professional engagement in a context relevant to their individual practice or chosen career path through the completion of live industry projects and undertake a master-level work placement (minimum 10 weeks, maximum 12 weeks) in an industry that is pertinent to their career objectives. Past students have gone on to launch their own businesses or work freelance in many areas within the fashion sector such as creative direction, fabric and material resource, design consultant and more.
