Learning outcomes

The programme aims to raise awareness of practical applications within fashion, and introduce students to resources and workshops which can provide the platform necessary for innovation and the realisation of individual practice and self-initiated project/s. The MA is designed to develop real world skills and establish which area of fashion students wish to focus on as the programme progresses. This allows students to explore Fashion Innovation projects in unexpected forms. 

The MA also aims to outline research which is happening in transdisciplinary areas, and to develop research skills and relevant approaches to practice as well as the critical techniques required to support students’ final project. Students will be expected to develop a personal practice that challenges traditional perspectives within fashion disciplines. A particular emphasis will be placed on developing existing skills and building opportunity to enhance and apply them within an appropriate fashion context.
