Course programme

Content

This provocative and original course was developed from our former MA Fashion Accessories course and has been expanded to take on board the material exploration and studio practice of leather, metal, plastic and wood.

Structure

Craftsmanship is at the core of this programme therefore we are seeking individuals who wish to develop existing skills, and demonstrate expertise in researching your chosen practice. If your need as a practitioner is to be both proactive and challenging, then you are the right candidate for this exciting MA course. The MA encourages creativity both conceptually and technically. The intensive programme is split into three distinct course units.

The first unit, Creative and Technical Development, is designed to evaluate and improve technical and practical skills. You work individually and develop creative work through a personal project. Technical and workshop inductions in Rapid prototype technology, laser, digital and wet print, embroidery and leather workshops introduce you to the extensive technical facilities and specialist staff of the College.

The second unit, Research, Development and Professional Links, encourages you to consolidate an area of specialism externally with an industry partner into your proposed project. There is an opportunity to build contacts with high profile national and international companies forging potential collaborative links. Alongside this personal development, the Contextual Studies unit provides breadth to your studies with themes including historical and contemporary cultural, design and global business perspectives on fashion.

The final unit comprises the negotiated Major Project: Development of Specialism and Project Realization. This MA project is the culmination of the your personal ideas and investigations towards the realization of an original body of work and is showcased in a final exhibition.
