This course requires both strong commercial understanding as well as theoretical knowledge. After looking at the roles and responsibilities of buyers – from design concept to point of sale – you’ll focus on the business side of fashion, building your knowledge of planning, branding, public relations/communications and social media platforms.
Throughout this course, you’ll study computer-aided design (CAD) to ensure that your design and marketing concepts can be presented and communicated in a professional, and industry-recognised, style. You’ll also cover report writing, data selection, presentation and critical analysis.
Sustainability has been embedded and social responsibility into our curriculum and aim to give you the tools to drive innovation at all stages of the buying process. We will also equip you with the practical skills you will need to take on the challenges of our rapidly evolving industry, in particular the shift in consumer demand from high street to online shopping.
