Course summary
Prepare for a career as a successful innovator and future leader in the fashion industry with this varied and engaging course. You’ll develop in-depth knowledge and understanding of the rapidly evolving fashion industry and develop your own creative, enterprising, and strategic business design skills.
You will be equipped to challenge existing business practice and propose new and innovative solutions for a more sustainable and socially responsible fashion industry. You’ll study the challenges faced by social enterprises today and the process of setting up a new business. At the same time, you’ll learn about new opportunities for the fashion industry, be that through innovation in fashion product development or advancements in fashion marketing and communication and the digitalisation of the fashion industry.
Delivered collaboratively between School of Design and Leeds University Business School (LUBS), you will be taught by experts across fashion and business. This will enable you to view the fashion industry from a range of perspectives, including social, cultural, and commercial perspectives.
You will develop strong research skills throughout the programme, with your learning culminating in a final major research project, which can be tailored to your own research interests and career aspirations. This independent research project can take a variety of forms. For example, you could produce a traditional dissertation on a fashion related topic of your choice, or alternatively, a more creative, industry-led piece of research such as a business proposal.
Career opportunities
Flexibility, resilience and transferable skills are desirable attributes for creative industry professionals. In the School of Design, as well as providing you with research-led, industry informed subject-specific knowledge, we aim to equip you with the best possible skills for a variety of future careers. Design thinking, combined with excellent research and criticality skills are increasingly valued across a wide range of sectors; therefore, your degree from the University of Leeds opens opportunities across disciplines and multiple industries, as well as in your programme related specialism.
On completion of this course you’ll have a strong understanding of the fast-paced and dynamic fashion industry, be equipped to challenge the accepted norms, and be a leader for the future fashion industry, capable of making meaningful changes for a more responsible and innovative fashion industry. You’ll have developed research and critical skills that make you an independent thinker, reflecting critically on the information you have and then drawing your own conclusions. All of these qualities are highly valued by employers in a range of industries.
