Introduction
BA (Hons) Design and Technology: Menswear offers a creative approach to the design and realisation of contemporary menswear. Our students create work that is pushing boundaries through engagement with meaningful research, innovative design, problem solving, and technical experimentation.
Students use the subject to explore issues of identity such as gender and non-binary genders, class, subcultures, faith and global cultural diversity and engage with global issues such as sustainability, social responsibility, ethical and environmental awareness.
What to expect
The course provides a clearly structured, incremental curriculum to help foster critical thinking and lead to great independent learning.
Defined developmental stages of the course move from the acquisition of core skills to the development and refinement of a strong personal aesthetic.
The academic underpinning of the course will enable students to appreciate the cultural and historical context of their practice and help them to develop the ability to critically evaluate their work and the work of others.
During the course students have the opportunity to undertake a placement in industry, providing the experience of working in a company and the chance to make contacts before graduation.
On graduation, students will be fully equipped to succeed as a creative designer in the challenging international field of menswear.
Work experience and opportunities
Students will be given the opportunity to undertake a short work experience placement during their second year of study. This provides increased industry awareness as well as crucial experience and valuable contacts within the industry. Industry-led projects form a key part of the course, and collaborations with students from other courses within the college are encouraged as part of the curriculum.
