This HNC in Fashion and Textiles has a strong emphasis on developing practical skills alongside specialist knowledge and understanding to meet the needs of the sector. BTEC Higher Nationals are recognised by employers as providing students with the key concepts and practical skills for direct progression to either Higher Education or employment within the fashion industry. Students will have the opportunity to master essential techniques for their chosen pathway and develop their higher level skills in fashion design.
Modules covered:
Semester 1
Semester 2
A fundamental aspect of the student’s development is educational visits which enhance the course experience and underpin all assignments. Previous destinations have included Paris (Paris Photo), London and Dublin, giving students the opportunity to not only add to their own portfolios but also to network with other photographers at an international level. Guest lectures are also incorporated into the curriculum to enhance the student’s understanding of professional practice and previous guest lectures have included acclaimed photographers, curators, marketing and PR representatives and specialist practitioners.
Skills and Knowledge Developed: This programme provides students with an opportunity to master the essential skills of their chosen specialism and develop higher level skills to meet the skills shortages within the industry.
Students will broaden their experience and depth of knowledge, allowing them to develop skills and attributes essential for a career in the industry.
Students will gain a deep understanding of the relationship between the designer, maker, and final outcome. They will be equipped with the skills necessary to translate a design and creative ideas into a finished and wearable garment. Design ideas will be presented evocatively, through appropriate visual material and practical outcomes - both 2D and 3D - demonstrating a high aesthetic, skilful manufacture and a strong theoretical understanding.
