Module Aims
For students to present a refined body of work within a Graduate Portfolio to showcase and promote their skills and attributes to a defined segment of the fashion design industry.
Content Summary
The Professional Portfolio module represents the culmination of the students’ body of work and is a defining moment in the student’s experience enabling them to enter professional life with a strong creative body of work and professional visual identity.
The portfolio content will be the choice of the individual learner as an outcome of discussion with staff, and must provide clear opportunities for the student to demonstrate an understanding of all aspects of the design process, visually communicating their professional attributes. The professional portfolio is designed to highlight students strengths, visually communicating their ideas from initial concept through to design development, technical specifications to finalized projects in order to support their entry into the design industry.
Throughout the module, students will have the opportunity to develop, debate and evaluate their portfolio in relation to shifts and changes in the industry.
