COURSE DESCRIPTION
Bachelor of Business Fashion course is designed for those who want a career in fashion but don’t want to be the one drawing the clothes.
We focus on preparing our students for the variety of other roles that exist in the industry (and there are many!). Our Bachelor of Business Fashion students go on to become successful fashion marketers, creative directors, merchandise buyers, stylists, e-commerce managers and more. We prepare you for roles that are central to any successful fashion brand (and in our opinion way more fun).
You will be immersed in the world of fashion from your first day of class, with subjects that include marketing, e-commerce, product management, visual merchandising and more. Each unit has been carefully chosen to build your skills and knowledge in a variety of fashion business areas. This will allow you to stand out from the crowd once you graduate, with a strong awareness of industry-wide trends and processes.
Our Bachelor of Fashion Business degree is built around four key themes of learning. These are Business Skills, Fashion Fundamentals, Marketing & Engagement, and Communications & Media. Each trimester you will study four units, one from each theme of learning. Trimesters 1 and 2 focus on building your knowledge of fashion business essentials. You will explore key topics such as business communication, the fashion cycle, adobe creative cloud programs including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, consumer behaviour and psychology and many more. Trimesters 3 and 4 allow you to dig deeper into specialised topics such as product development, buying and merchandising, fashion history, content creation, styling and more. Trimesters 5 and 6 allow you to let your imagination run wild and showcase your skills and passion to potential employers. Using your knowledge from trimesters 1-4 you will create your own fashion (or creative) business plan. You will also study specific business management units that focus on fashion law, digital marketing, visual merchandising and technology.
Once completing the course you will graduate with a strong fashion business proposal that showcases your diverse skill sets. Our bachelor of business fashion graduates use this proposal as an impressive portfolio to present to future employers, or even launch themselves!
