Fashion Entrepreneurship in Design & Brand Innovation

The MA Fashion Entrepreneurship in Design and Brand Innovation has been designed with enterprise creation as a central distinctive feature. Students on the course will establish themselves as freelancers or micro-SME’s and will be encouraged to develop a commercial enterprise from the outset. ‍ Key to our approach is the delivery of practice-based education in which you will be professionally ‘incubated’ as an aspiring designer-entrepreneur and to develop your craft in professional studios. ‍ Through a balance of both business and vocational skills, students will develop and hone a progressive and comprehensive range of personal, professional and entrepreneurial skills to develop new fashion concepts through to commercialisation, and address the need for the fashion entrepreneur who can identify market opportunities in the industry. ‍ This design-led, practical course aims to produce internationally versatile professionals who can successfully create, lead and manage fashion businesses, from design, through construction and manufacture, to sales. Learners will undertake a wide range of activities from, start-up business solutions, brand innovation and the design and development of a fashion collection within the context of enterprise and entrepreneurship.
