Study Details: 1 year full-time
The fashion landscape is evolving more rapidly than ever before and the need for sustainable and innovative fashion garments, ranges, and business models has never been more urgent. Conscious approaches to both the design and realisation of a fashion product are therefore critical.
MA Fashion Design Technology is aimed at students who are ready to challenge traditional fashion industry systems and who want to become the catalyst for positive change in their specialism. Technology and human-centric design are at the heart of the programme. The use of technology drives the creation of new, original products and allows for experimentation beyond material resources.
You will have the opportunity to systematically question existing ideals in response to social, ethical, cultural and political issues. You will use innovative development methods to generate alternative, creative and experimental design outputs for both self-directed briefs and industry-led ‘live’ projects.
Whilst studying on this programme, you will have access to an extensive suite of cutting edge, industry-standard machinery and specialist software, highly qualified and experienced staff, and a network of global professional partners.
Graduates will be equipped to design and manufacture innovative fashion prototypes, products and ranges for specific target markets that impact positively on society and the future of the industry they are joining.

By the end of their course, students will be equipped to design and manufacture innovative fashion prototypes, products and ranges for specific target markets that impact positively on society and the future of the industry they are joining. Most graduates will enter the fashion industry in design, pattern cutting and advanced product development roles, aspiring to senior creative positions. They are also expected to be driving change in emerging roles in industry 4.0. The self-directed, project-based programme also provides a platform for progression onto doctoral study.
MA Fashion Design Technology is made up of five core modules. You’ll explore design as a catalyst for change, experiment with digital and material technologies, and tackle industry-led challenges. All of this culminates in a negotiated project with a self-written brief designed to align with your career goals.
Core modules:
Design for Impact
Digital and Material Innovation
