All our courses share a common first year, and this enables our students to use the first year to gain a deeper understanding of each field and see where their interests lie. It empowers our students to make informed choices about their academic and career paths, and allows them to specialise in the area which they're most passionate about by switching to an alternative BSc course in Fashion if they find they prefer a different pathway after Year 1.

"Manchester's fashion course is perfect for you if you like both the creative and business side of fashion. I chose Fashion Buying as it covers all the things I'm most interested in".

"I chose to study fashion because I wanted to be a part of the fast-paced industry. I also grew interested in sustainability and realised that the fashion industry can have a big environmental impact and I wanted to be involved in changing that".

"I switched to my current fashion course after studying a different one for a year, but as the first year covers all topics students can change course after Year 1. This is so beneficial as it gave me the opportunity to have a taster of each course before selecting which one is best suited to my interests."
