Developed to meet the demands of employers, this HND provides advanced study for those who follow on from the NQ Fashion Business or who have either Highers or practical experience. Students' creativity thrives on this course, while at the same time gaining fundamental awareness. The changing emphasis on the European Fashion market requires students to prioritise business skills and technical expertise to compliment design and production skills.

While we make every attempt to ensure the accuracy of course information, this is subject to change, as part of our continuous improvement process.
