Applicants must possess an HNC (Level 4) Art and Design, Fashion or Textiles qualification in order to be considered for this course.

Suitable applicants will be invited to interview, where they will be required to further demonstrate their suitability for the course by bringing a portfolio of artwork for review. A copy of your HNC module transcripts will also be requested, and the original will be required for review during enrolment. References from an official email address (ie. NOT Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) must be provided. This can be from your previous institution if you were a student in the last 4 years or from a line manager if you are currently working.

Students without an HNC (Level 4), may be able to take the two-year course starting with the HNC.

Mature students with relevant experience may also be considered.

Maths and English GCSEs at grade C or above are also required

HND graduates may progress onto a one-year BA (Hons) Art and Design Top-up Degree via a range of Universities. Alternatively, graduates can choose to start their career in the fashion and clothing industries or related areas. Many of our students have progressed into employment with some of the world's biggest fashion brands or set up their own business.

Teaching:

You are taught mainly through practical workshops with some theory sessions. In addition, you have timetabled meetings with your personal tutor. You will use industry-standard equipment and have access to studios, workshops and library facilities throughout your course.

Independent learning:

When not attending timetabled sessions you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. Typically, this will involve research, working on individual and group projects, preparing coursework assignments and presentations. Your independent learning is supported by a range of excellent facilities, including the library, the Undergraduate Centre, digital suites and specialist studios.

Overall workload:

Your overall workload consists of class contact hours, independent learning, and assessment activity, while your actual contact hours may depend on the optional modules selected.

Assessment:

The course provides you with opportunities to test your understanding of the subject informally before you complete the formal assessments that count towards your final mark.

Regular formative feedback is provided with a final grade awarded for each unit upon completion. All assessments are spread across the year to make the workload manageable.

Suitable applicants requiring a Tier 4 Visa will be contacted by our International and Compliance Officer, who will guide you through the process.
