The city of Liverpool is a vibrant place for students to study and supports the course as a hub for research and live projects.

The course pushes the boundaries of contemporary design whilst underpinning its philosophy with the traditional skills of drawing and illustration, garment construction and photography. High profile collaborations and competitions are an intrinsic part of the programme alongside a wide range of placements within the fashion sector. In addition to this, there is a strong focus on national and international live projects and competitions to enable students to participate and develop a deeper knowledge of industry practice.

The programme is known for excellent studio practice and diversity and this is supported with specialist workshop delivery to ensure students work towards industry standard outputs. Students have on-going dialogue with tutors within a robust and well-considered timetable to ensure consistency in feedback and productivity. The course prides itself on creating independent and creative thinkers who go on to make significant impact within the creative industries at a local, national and international level.
