I DID MY BSc in computer science
from Delhi University in 2004. I wish to pursue a course
in fashion designing in the UK. Am I eligible for it?
Sona Singhania
The British fashion education is regarded as the
best in the world in terms of creativity, professionalism
and diversity. You have not mentioned exactly what type
of course you wish to pursue. There is a great variety of
courses offered to fashion students across the UK. At the
end of a typical foundation year, which usually offers a
broader art and design experience, most graduates move on
to either a two-year HND (Higher National Diploma) or a
three- or four-year BA honours course. Most BA courses take
three years to complete, but some institutions offer a four-year
sandwich course. This usually includes industrial placement.
Upon graduation, a number of fashion students choose to
opt for postgraduate courses ? MA, MPhil or PhD programmes.
Alternatively, students may go for vocational courses such
as BTEC National Diplomas or the Advanced GNVQ qualifications
in art and design. In order to enroll in a fashion course
in the UK, you need a good portfolio which demonstrates
your abilities in drawing, design development, problem solving
and colour work and your interest in fashion. Please do
keep in mind that different courses will have different
entrance requirements.
