About this course

3years

Full-time | 2024

The ability to style and promote fashion brands, design campaigns and publications and market fashion events creatively and effectively, form the basis of the Fashion Branding and Creative Communication course at CSVPA.

This contemporary, creative yet career-focused programme is designed to develop the skills, innovation and vision necessary for the fast-moving world of fashion branding and communications.

With extensive connections to industry, easy access to London and more tutor time than most fashion courses, we will help you develop to your maximum creative potential and enable you to build brand through creative communication. The course will engage students with a wide variety of subject areas from styling, photography, art direction and trend prediction to branding, PR and fashion marketing. This leads to in-depth exploration of one of these subjects in the final year.

WHAT TO EXPECT
YEAR ONE
In your first year you will be introduced to the subject and explore your own visual communications, including layouts, art direction with styling, photography and content curation with digital and print media. You will also be introduced to fashion promotion, PR and fashion branding all within a global and contemporary context.

YEAR TWO
In your second year you will advance your skills learnt in year one and prepare for your final year specialisms. This could include pop-up events, lookbook creation, online promotional activity and printed outputs. You will also learn professional strategies such as the creation of self-promotional materials and the positioning of your personal practice within the fashion world.

YEAR THREE
In your final year you will focus on your own areas of interest and orientate yourself towards the world of work. Final year specialisms will vary from digital and experiential campaign creation, event management, brand strategies and new product launches to production of trend and colour books, branded look-books, magazines and more.

Upon successful completion students will be awarded with a BA(Hons) Fashion Branding & Creative Communication accredited by Falmouth University.
