The module aims to enable the students to obtain detailed knowledge in specific areas or research of fashion wear including an understanding of the key terms, concepts, facts and principles, rules and theories of the field, discipline or practice. The student will demonstrate knowledge of an area or areas of specialisation and how that knowledge relates to other fields, disciplines or practices.
This module contains three learning units.
The first unit develops the ability to work collaboratively with others, employing appropriate communication skills and appreciating how interactions with others affect individual behaviour. They should also be able to keep accurate and structured notes and records of information, and process, analyse and present that information, from various sources and in different formats.
The second unit will provide the students with supporting knowledge required, demonstrating an understanding of fashion in general and the major influence played upon by internationally recognized designers, both in a historical and a current context.
The third unit enables the individual to play a key part in his or her own development. It provides the opportunity for important transferable knowledge and skills gained in the workplace or through a variety of structured activities to be formally recognised.
