You will have the opportunity to collaborate with other students, so you can share your insights and experience which will help you to develop and learn. <br/><br/><br/>* The BA (Hons) Fashion course is a hands-on, creative course. With theory embedded throughout module activities, the work students will undertake will be creative in its content and approach. Students will work towards creating fashion artefacts (in their broadest definition), demonstrating their skills as innovative and directional practitioners who are able to do realise ideas as brave, experimental outcomes.<br/><br/><br/>* Students will be able to access the industry standard facilities* in the newly refurbished Art and Design buildings enabling them to work in a range of scales, materials and processes. Students will be encouraged to develop and apply both 2D and 3D techniques and will apply both analogue (traditional) and digital (new technology) approaches to ensure they develop individual creative identities and ways of working relevant to current and emerging creative sector standards. <br/><br/><br/>* Students will be introduced to current and emerging ways of working, combining materials and processes in new ways. With a strong technical core in the course, students are encouraged to consider “making” in its bravest sense and to apply their knowledge of materials and processes to the development of new products and artefacts, relevant to the fashion industry.<br/><br/><br/>* This course, along with others in the suite of Fashion courses is highly internationally focused. Students benefit from a wealth of international experience established by the course founders; who are passionate about ensuring global collaboration and industry readiness and who seek opportunities to develop solid international awareness and experience where possible. Themes included within course modules embrace this global approach and students are encouraged to consider diverse perspectives and references from the start of the course.<br/><br/><br/>*For further information please check the course page on the Coventry University website
