Studying Fashion Design with Business Studies has helped me understand the process of creating garments. The technicians, who teach pattern cutting, are phenomenal and there is no limit to what you can design, they make it possible for you to construct anything. Alongside the lecturers, they really push you to be the best designer you can. There is so much to learn about this industry and they teach you all of it.

James Parker, Fashion with Business Studies BA(Hons) and winner of the Project 20/20 Student Design Awards
