Researching Fashion Courses

I started researching fashion courses at different universities. I knew I didn't want to study fashion design but I did want to study something which would lead me into the fashion industry.

I went onto the UAL website and looked at undergraduate courses at London College of Fashion.

I specifically liked the look of the Fashion Styling and Production course and the Fashion Photography course as well as the Fashion Communication course at Central Saint Martins because of the image making aspects.
  
I searched for fashion styling courses at universities and discovered that as it is quite a specific course not many universities offer it. There were a few short courses over a year or 6 months at London College of Style but I wanted the university experience. 

I looked at Fashion Styling and Creative Direction at Southampton Solent which most interested me as a course but I wasn't sure I wanted to move away from London.

The University of Salford Fashion Image Making and Styling 5. Middlesex University Fashion Communication and Styling The last two choices I added as back up so I could keep my options open even though I wasn't keen on either. If I didn't get into my first choice  which was   Southampton   I would probably pursue an alternative path such as an apprenticeship, foundation or take a gap year. I sent my application off and the careers team sent me feedback about the changes I needed to make to my details and  this document   with the changes for my personal statement.

Acceptance of Offer

I withdrew my applications to CSM, Salford and Middlesex which meant that I didn't submit my portfolio to CSM and I didn't attend the other interviews. I did this because I knew I wanted to go to Southampton and seeing as my offer to Southampton was unconditional I decided to accept it.  Because I accepted Southampton as my firm choice I am also eligible for a scolarship depending on my grades.
