- IELTS
- 6.0 level requirementThis is the English requirement the university publishes for study at this level, not one printed for this course. Most departments ask for exactly this and some ask for more, so it tells you what to aim at rather than what you will be asked for. Send us the course and we will confirm the requirement it actually sets, including any minimum in each paper.

Overview
This page covers Fashion Art Direction across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Design Studies is studio based, and almost every department asks for a portfolio before it will make an offer.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £20,000 to £21,500 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

Careers opportunities
Hiring in this field is decided on a portfolio rather than on a transcript, and the degree's job is to build one. A large share of graduates work freelance or on contract for the first few years, often alongside a studio job.
Roles graduates go into
- Designer or practitioner in your discipline
- Studio assistant
- Art director
- Creative producer
- Arts administrator
- Freelance commissions
Where they work
- Design studios and agencies
- In-house brand and product teams
- Galleries, museums and arts organisations
- Publishing and print
- Self-employment and commissions
There is no register to join. What replaces it is a body of work, and most graduates spend the first two years building it in paid assisting roles.
