Foundation Year
Fashion Foundation Year Courses
These four-year courses give you a general grounding in the area before you move on to specialise in your chosen subject.
Undergraduate
Fashion Undergraduate Degree Courses
Spend three years exploring the areas of fashion that interest you most. You’ll gain an understanding of the general skills you’ll need, and as you progress you’ll get the chance to shape your degree how you want to.
Postgraduate
Postgraduate Fashion Design Degree
Build on your undergraduate and work experiences so far to further develop your skills and job prospects in a specific area.
Do I need to prepare a fashion portfolio?
As part of your application, we will need to see a portfolio of your work to provide an opportunity for you to share your creative practice with us. Any offers will be conditional upon our subject team having the chance to review your portfolio.
Do your courses have their own social media channels I can follow?
Both our Fashion Design and Fashion Image Making and Styling courses have an Instagram profile.
How can I prepare for my fashion course?
Before you start the fashion degree course, we will send you a letter with recommendations on books and magazines to help you prepare for the course. In the meantime, you can read lots of fashion magazines - Dazed & Confused and Purple are good places to start - and you can also research fashion photographers and designers to find which approaches appeal to you most.
What will my timetable in first year look like?
First-year students are in four days a week. Typically the contact hours are 9.30 am-4.30 pm, although some days may be shorter. There usually is one full day free a week to enable students to participate in extra-curricular activities or work part-time.
Is this course suitable for students that commute?
Yes! There is lots of support for commuter students at Salford. We have two Commuter Hubs, designated areas on campus for commuters who want somewhere to study away from the library, make/eat their own food, or even play some Xbox games! Alongside that, we have excellent transport links - there is reasonable parking on campus, a train station next to Peel Park Campus, and buses running every few minutes into Manchester and going into Greater Manchester.
