What is your next education pathway?

The Higher National Diploma in Fashion Design (Full-Time Programme) is a dynamic course designed to develop students' creative and technical skills in fashion design, preparing them for a successful career in the fashion industry. The curriculum covers essential areas such as fashion design visualization, textile development, and digital fashion skill development, equipping students with the tools to conceptualize and bring their design ideas to life using modern techniques and technologies.

In the first semester, students focus on community projects that allow them to apply their skills in real-world settings, while also honing their expertise in fashion production visualization. This hands-on approach ensures they gain practical experience in the entire design process, from concept to production.

In the second semester, the focus shifts to fashion illustration, fashion styling, and fashion editorial, where students refine their design communication skills, learning to express their vision through illustrations, styling, and editorial concepts. The course culminates in advanced fashion production visualization, where students perfect their design presentations.

Graduates will be well-equipped for careers as fashion designers, stylists, illustrators, or in fashion production, with a comprehensive understanding of both the artistic and technical aspects of the fashion industry.
