Education

Bachelor of Arts (BA) University of The Arts London (UAL)
Sep 2016London, United Kingdom
BA (Hons) Creative Direction for Fashion prepares students for a wide range of positions within fashion media and communication and related creative industries by exposing them to a variety of concepts, skills and techniques. This includes the fundamentals of visual communication and design principles, and their application in the context of publications (magazines, websites, mobile apps), spaces (retail, experiential) and brand identity. We cover graphic and interface design, moving image, photography, sound, performance and interaction design. The course provides an understanding of brands to ensure that students develop into skilled designers with an awareness of markets and audiences, and the confidence to propose innovative and forward-thinking concepts. The practical aspects of the course are supported with intellectually stimulating ideas around contemporary creative practice and cultural and historical studies. Teamwork and project management are important to the course and students are taught about aspects of production such as budgeting and risk assessment that are essential to the realisation of a creative vision. To further support students’ understanding of professional practice we aim to run a number of live briefs and collaborative projects each year. Recent collaborations have involved H&M, Knomi and the Victoria and Albert Museum. We offer regular guest lectures and host sessions and master classes with visiting practitioners from a range of disciplines. Recent visitors include Jamie Reid, art director of Dazed magazine, and Matthew Drinkwater from the Fashion Innovation Agency. In Year 2, students have the opportunity to undertake a work placement (for credit) of up to three months’ duration. This unique course is delivered by a seasoned team of academics and practitioners with backgrounds in fashion, visual art, publishing, events, moving image, branding and communications. The course seeks students who are curious, motivated, experimental and willing to work hard both collaboratively and independently in order to realize their ambitions. There is scope for each student to pursue their individual interests whilst receiving a strong foundation in design and transferable skills that will benefit them long into the future. Students are expected to take advantage of the University’s many resources as well as the expanded classroom that London provides. Lectures and seminars run a minimum of two days per week with a third day designated for technical delivery, leaving ample time for students to develop their projects and take on part-time employment if desired.
