MA Fashion Communication: Histories and Theories offers an academic approach to the study of fashion, which assesses its cultural, historical and global significance.

Fashion is explored as object, image, text, idea, practice and experience through the critical lens of art history, sociology, geography, literature, politics and anthropology.

Students develop writing, research and analytical skills, both to shape the emerging field of fashion studies and to develop as active and critical communicators within the industry itself.

MA Fashion Communication is designed to further progress your specialist skills. The course equips students with the breadth of skills needed for employment in the fashion communication industry. Strong emphasis is placed on personal and professional development.

The curriculum is enhanced by the energy that derives from the fusion of students across three pathways. Students will interact with their peers from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. As part of this, students will be expected to learn and problem-solve from their own experience as well as that of their peers.

Students will be expected to build their own relationships and networks externally to the college with the wider industry, taking advantage of the resources within the Kings Cross Knowledge Quarter and those further afield.
