The main aims of the module are to:
Provide an opportunity for students to consolidate learning through a coherent and visible project of their own design, presenting the results of their practical and theoretical work at a professional level.
Enable students to apply their skills and knowledge to a project aligned to their career interests and academic specialisms.
Encourage independent learning, thinking, and engagement with the personal and professional development planning process, including time management, critical reflection, and self-marketing.
Content Summary
Aligning with USW graduate attributes, this final-year module examines fashion’s future innovations, reshaping and challenging how the fashion industry communicates, grows, and develops. Through an inclusive approach, students select the brands and/or product categories they wish to work with post-graduation or analyse through case study research, aligning project work to individual career ambitions or potential postgraduate pathways. By analysing emerging technologies, product innovation, cultural shifts, and new academic perspectives, students explore how fashion marketing can disrupt the status quo and push the industry further. Particular attention is paid to new pathways, processes and truly disruptive approaches to the industry. The module equips learners to imagine and influence the next evolution of fashion marketing through brand and product strategy and academic critique.
