Tutorials and PASS
"The course pushes us to look at sustainable brands and analyse ethical behaviour. For example, in one exam we were asked to consider the sustainable production initiatives of a specific company".
"The first year of the course gives you a broad understanding and foundation of the industry so that you can then decide what you'd like to specialise in".
"I hadn't considered a course in fashion as I assumed all courses required previous experience and qualifications in art. But the BSc in Fashion focuses on the business and technology, and this 'behind-the-scenes' element really interests me."
