    During this 2 year course, I studied a variety of units including Fashion Communications, Marketing, Styling, Sustainability, Visual Merchandising and many more! These units have supported me in becoming versatile for job roles, but my current goal is to pursue Fashion Journalism. I achieved a Distinction grade after completing project based coursework. Each project would be guided by a brief, assisting me in developing my creative initiative and above all organisation of meeting short deadlines. Working both individually and as a team, I found the course to be very exciting and provided me with even more passion in excelling towards the industry after graduating.
