1. The course is highly respected within the fashion industry

3. Tutors and guest lecturers are highly knowledgeable in their sectors
Most – if not all - tutors on the Fashion Communication course have worked in the industry previously, giving them real-world knowledge and expertise that is constantly passed down to students. They also have amazing connections to the industry and often pass down one-of-a-kind opportunities for their students to take advantage of.
4. The course offers multiple live briefs each year
Live briefs are when outsider companies set real briefs for the Fashion Communication class, and students here have had the chance to work with the likes of Dr. Martens, LSN Global, i-D Magazine and many more in the past. Some of these briefs can even lead on to work experience and job opportunities.
5. The facilities at Northumbria Design School are excellent
With Apple Mac suites complete with the Adobe Creative Suite, photography studios and equipment, a dedicated technician, subscriptions to WGSN and Mintel and an extensive selection of industry-related literature both online and offline, students have everything they need to succeed on the course.
