About This Course

For people who decide how fashion is photographed, filmed, and communicated.

For people who decide how fashion is photographed, filmed, and communicated. Image, film, and writing are taught together, building toward a portfolio built for editorial, styling, and brand communication roles.
The Foundation Year is not a watered-down start. It is a deliberate year of creative confidence-building and contextual knowledge before the degree begins. Students who complete the Foundation Year enter the degree programme with a portfolio already developing and a clear sense of specialism.

Entry Routes

Foundation Year entry: 32+ UCAS points or equivalent. No portfolio required — this route is designed for students who may have lower grades but a clear creative direction. We look at the whole application.

Direct entry at Level 4: Suitably qualified applicants may apply to join the degree directly at Level 4, bypassing the Foundation Year. If you feel you meet the requirements for direct entry, speak to our admissions team.
