Here's what University for the Creative Arts says about its Fashion Image & Styling (with Integrated Foundation & Professional Practice Years) course.
Our BA (Hons) Fashion Image and Styling (with Integrated Foundation Year and Professional Practice Year) is a five year degree programme, including a foundation year to help develop your creativity before you embark on year one of a degree. Your fourth academic year would then include a year in industry placement.
Have you ever seen an advert on television, a shoot in a magazine, or a fashion runway show and wished you could have been part of bringing it to life? Then this BA (Hons) Fashion Image & Styling degree course at UCA Epsom is the one for you.
The course will teach you how to create looks and to experiment in the studio and on location to produce ideas for editorial, magazines, campaigns, TV, events, and film.
You’ll collaborate in-house, working alongside students in fashion design, textiles, fashion photography, and make-up and hair design. In addition to working with lecturers with a wealth of industry experience and knowledge, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from visiting industry professionals in the fields of styling, editorial, and fashion communication.
Graduates of this course have gone on to work in events and campaigns for Gucci and Marks & Spencer, styled shoots for i-D Magazine and NET-A-PORTER, contributed to and hosted fashion events in London, Milan, and New York.
