Fashion Design (Hons) Technological University of the Shannon

Overview

The Fashion Design (Hons) programme from  Technological University of the Shannon fosters independent thinking, creativity and innovation in both creative design processes and technical skills across four pathways: Collection Design, Applied Textiles, Technology or Sustainability. Students will choose one pathway of specialisation during their second year that will inform their focus for the rest of their studies. In their chosen Pathway, the student will be supported in exploring fashion design through subjects and processes that are of interest to them as they develop their voice as a designer. It is our aim to guide students through finding their own approach to creating design solutions in clothing, textile development, fashion technology or in sustainable systems for fashion and textiles.
