Over recent years the BA(Hons) Fashion Promotion course at the University of Central Lancashire has gained an excellent reputation throughout the fashion industry for producing innovative creative and professional graduates. The same course exactly we brought at AAS College and it’s the first of its kind in the whole country.
This course produces independent, creative and industrious graduates who gain prestigious positions within the fashion industry. This is attributed not only to the creative project work undertaken throughout the course but also the essential experiences gained whilst working in fashion related industries. Our links with the industry offer excellent opportunities for work.
The range of choice in work experience covers areas of trend prediction, styling, public relations, marketing, promotion, visual merchandising, fashion media and journalism.
