BA (Hons) Fashion Marketing with Integrated Foundation

Overview

This course, with an integrated foundation year, will teach you how to create innovative designs based on market research, consumer needs and commercial environments.

This a useful entry point if you don’t have the qualifications needed to enter a degree-level course directly, or if you’re uncertain which pathway to follow. You’ll be introduced to a variety of key topics (from fashion and interior design to marketing and promotion) and gain the fundamental skills to confidently progress to degree-level.

Once you've successfully completed your foundation year, you'll progress to the first year of BA (Hons) Fashion Marketing.

Degree-level

To successfully launch a product in the fashion industry, you'll need to constantly seek creative ways to tell stories – building brand reputations, attracting new customers and generating sales.

This pathway combines creativity, business and commercial viability – teaching you the fundamental aspects of marketing (how to forecast trends, evaluate consumer behaviour, gather data, devise strategies and tell compelling stories) and exploring how to apply them to the fashion industry specifically.

In your first year, analyse current fashion campaigns and evaluate how well they tell stories that resonate with their customers. In your second year, experiment with re-telling existing stories, and in your final year, focus on creating your own stories from scratch – exploring the use of photography, video, social media and collaborations.

Using our specialist software equipment, you'll learn how to shoot fashion photography for campaigns and access a range of industry resources, including Fashion Monitor (an influencer marketing tool).

Why study Fashion Marketing in London?

Studying in the heart of London, you'll have plenty of opportunities to visit influential fashion houses and marketing agencies – working on live briefs and devising strategies for fashion shows, events, campaigns and photoshoots, while building a network of contacts and creating a professional portfolio.

You’ll also have the option to study abroad in your second year, further expanding your understanding of this industry, globally.

Graduate as an innovative, visionary marketer, ready to succeed in a range of fashion careers, from marketing and PR to e-commerce, merchandising and trend forecasters.
