The Fashion Design BA Honours at the University of Westminster is your gateway to becoming an original and individual creative designer, ready to excel in the international fashion industry. You will explore the dynamic interplay of design, research, illustration, pattern cutting, and construction, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and digital tools like CAD and CLO 3D. This course is designed for ambitious individuals who want to develop a personal design philosophy, understand the impact of climate and societal changes on fashion, and gain the transferable skills necessary for lifelong professional development in this ever-evolving field.
Studied full-time on campus over four years, including an optional extended internship, you will experience a blend of lectures, seminars, and practical workshops. Your learning journey will involve developing conceptual and commercial projects, including Zero Waste and Surface design, and culminating in the creation of pre-collections and runway collections. A significant highlight is the opportunity for an eight-week internship, often timed around London Fashion Week, allowing you to work with leading international fashion companies. You will graduate with a strong portfolio and the confidence to pursue roles in design, development, and creative direction.
