You will also develop a variety of technical and pattern-cutting skills - including creative cutting, small-scale cutting, tailoring and outerwear - and encouraged to develop innovations in fabrics, garment manufacture and finishings.

Ultimately, the final year offers you the opportunity to fully incorporate your design strengths into your graduate fashion collection, which can be explored through perspectives of accessory-led design, menswear, womenswear, knitwear and surface-led design.

Careers

Your employment and career development are our priorities. We bring our industry experience and connections to each project, with opportunities to participate in competitions and lives briefs set by H&M, Dr Martens, Mackintosh, Sophie Halette and more. Our graduates have gone on to work for top design brands, including Balenciaga, H&M, Reiss, Cos, Warehouse, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen and Gucci, to name but a few.

Reasons to choose the programme

Our graduates are employed by leading fashion houses around the world and are highly influential in all aspects of the industry.

We will nurture your individual design identity, enabling you to be expressive, visionary and provocative with a broad range of abilities.

We emphasise emotionally considerate design, inclusion, diversity and an empathic understanding of users' needs.

We collaborate with other disciplines across the School of Design and ECA and a range of external bodies, including leading designers.

In your graduate year, you may showcase your work at our annual ECA Fashion Show in Edinburgh and at Graduate Fashion Week in London.

The Fashion workshops are equipped for a mixture of fabric sewing and pattern-cutting processes.

As well as being a space for working by hand and embroidery, there are a variety of industrial sewing and knitting machines, irons, and overlockers available for use.

Fashion students benefit from having their own allocated studio space for their design work, with the workshops being the place where you can bring your ideas to life. These workshops are predominately used by Fashion students, but students from other programmes can access facilities after having appropriate inductions.

While students are encouraged to learn to construct and assemble garments independently as they progress through their programme of studies, expert support is available from Technical Learning Services staff members who are on hand at all times to offer help and guidance as you work.

Textiles workshops

The textiles workshops are equipped for traditional flat-bed screen printing, digital textile printing and fabric dyeing.

The space benefits from having large print-beds for working with metres of fabric at a time, as well as easy access to the dye lab from the main workshop.

A hands-on way of learning and creating work is encouraged. You will learn all aspects of basic screen printing techniques, and in later years of study will work with more complex processes such as devoré and discharge.
