MA Fashion Design/MA Fashion Shaping

 

 

MA Fashion Design

 

MA Fashion Design students at UCLan combine in-depth study in a specific fashion area with debate from a diverse group of peers to position their work in the industry of the future.

 

Students are encouraged to extend their projects beyond the accepted norms of conventional fashion programmes.

 

Fashion at UCLan is taught by a team of full-time and associate lecturers, who have vast experience of the industry. The course is also supported by experienced technical staff, whose skills cover all areas of practical make.  Students develop their proposals with the opportunity of using resources from other areas within the Department of Art and Fashion: Fine Art, Sculpture, Print, Photography, Video, and Performing Arts.

 

The course operates alongside the large full-time undergraduate degrees in Fashion and Fashion Promotion and MA students will also be able to use facilities from these and other fashion-related MA programmes.

 

The course is available both full-time and part-time. Full-time is delivered over a three-semester block; part-time is delivered over a five-semester block. Four of the modules allow students to experience other Art and Design related practice which will help them develop their personal proposals.

 

Teaching involves a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, presentations and integration of consultancy with industry.  All students are allocated an individual supervisor according to their studio interest.

 

Professional Issues in Art and Design allows students to contextualize their work within a current framework, whilst developing an ability to articulate in-depth a point of view.

 

Research Methods and Established Practice introduces students to a range of analytical research tools, which will form the basis for all in-depth projects on the course.

 

Students can opt for a separate dissertation together with a separately identified major project or combine their practical conclusions with a major body of market research to underpin their area of work.

The project proposal forms the basis of the learning outcomes of the course and will enable applicants to articulate their design aspirations.  The proposal should state the plan of work and proposed outcomes of the project. This project proposal will evolve with teaching input and will be re-negotiated throughout the course with the guidance of academic staff.  Students are encouraged to extend their projects beyond the accepted norms of conventional fashion design.
