Art and Design (Fashion/Photography) (Top-Up)

This BA (Hons) Top-Up programme is a direct progression route for students successfully completing the HND Photography, HND Fashion, or similar Level 5 programme (such as HND in Art and Design). It is designed to allow students to build on their knowledge and skills and specialise in a chosen area such as photography, fashion or art and design whilst also conducting research into contemporary issues in the creative industries and developing themselves professionally. Applicants select their chosen pathway (photography or fashion) and each programme develops the level and application of specialist skills and knowledge required along with a critical understanding of issues relating to the chosen pathway. Students build on their own particular area of expertise in assignment-based and project-based work. A key, special feature of the programme is work-related learning, not only in the area of employability but also self-employment, enterprise and entrepreneurship. Any students intending to do project work in an education or community context will need to obtain DBS clearance before starting the project.
