* Create designs in response to trends, market segmentations and technical innovations, as you explore fabric and form to achieve resolved 3D outcomes

* Work on high-profile industry-led briefs, live projects, and competitions to create a professional industry-ready fashion portfolio. This includes our flagship tailoring project and professional portfolio module, in partnership with British luxury brand, Burberry

Together, you'll design and realise your graduate collection.

For more course updates, follow us on Instagram @leedsbeckettfashion .

Designated creative spaces

You’ll have your own studio space in our award-winning Broadcasting Place building, home to many of our creative courses. You'll collaborate with other innovative thinkers across subjects including fine art, graphic design, illustration, music, and film.

Challenge boundaries

Fashion is one of the world's biggest industries, but we believe it's about more than the commercial production and promotion of new collections. It's a reflection of society, identity, and culture, and can be a powerful protagonist for change. On this fashion design degree, you'll explore fashion beyond temporary consumer trends.

One project exploring sustainability beyond fast fashion is our collaboration with global charity Oxfam - the Oxfam x Leeds Beckett Fashion Second Hand September project. This live brief challenges you to transform donated, unsaleable clothing into innovative fashion outcomes, promoting circular economy principles and reducing textile waste.

You’ll gain experience in sustainable design, garment reconstruction, content creation, and fashion communication while contributing to a project with clear social and environmental impact.

Fashion Alliance North

Fashion Alliance North brings together Northern universities and industry partners to strengthen fashion education, research, and graduate opportunities across the North of England. The collaboration supports emerging fashion talent, celebrates regional creative identity, and challenges London-centric assumptions around access and progression within the fashion industry.

Alongside opportunities for students and graduates, it encourages collaborative research, knowledge exchange, and wider engagement with fashion’s cultural and economic impact across Northern regions.

Showcase your style

We're committed to providing a fashion design course that responds to your individual personality, interests, and creativity. You'll work on diverse briefs to build a portfolio of professional skills that will help open doors to an array of careers in fashion.

You could also impress the public and industry by exhibiting your work at the end of your final year, including through our in-house LSA Degree Show.

Guest lectures

We regularly host guest lectures and workshops on campus and with external organisations. The INSIDE/OUT lecture series features leading voices from art, architecture, design, fashion, film, music, performing arts, and beyond.

This module will introduce you to two-dimensional and three-dimensional pattern making and garment construction. You'll learn how to manipulate a basic block, incorporating skills such as dart manipulation, adding volume, and changing the silhouette. We'll also explore pattern drafting fundamentals such as tracing off, and the use of notches and drill holes. In the first half of the module you'll learn technical construction skills through practical sessions and technical demonstrations.

The second half of the module will focus on the development of your individual design into a resolved garment using pattern cutting, toiling, and industry standard construction techniques. Within the remit of the brief, you'll be able to adopt a personal, thematic, or experimental approach to the design process which should also consider diversity and inclusion.

Studying this module will enable you to develop your responsible design thinking through a brief which specifies upcycling in the cut and construction of an original design.

This module is based purely on visual communication and will encourage your individual creative development. You'll explore a range of hand and digital drawing processes for the communication of silhouette, mood, fabric, colour and technical detail to become familiar with using methods of communication for fashion design projects. We'll also examine the relationship of colour, and colour palettes, including how to formulate a colour story and apply it in a fashion design context.

Fabric types, fabric characteristics and their impact in fashion collections will be explored, for example silhouette, structure, season, mood, ethics, and technology. You'll develop your understanding of surface treatments such as print, and fabric manipulation techniques. This module will emphasise your experimentation and exploration, and will focus on how creative practices are combined with technical knowledge to develop and communicate innovative design ideas evocative of a specific mood or trend.

Study the history of fashion design and fashion marketing. We'll explore key moments in fashion history through a series of accessible themes, such as culture, politics, class, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity. Your lectures will focus on developments within the modern fashion industry from the 19th century to the present but also refer to early modern, medieval, and even ancient antecedents to the clothes we wear today.

New ways of thinking about style, trends, gender, technology, globalization, ethics, sustainability, faith, and culture, have transformed the fashion industry over the last few decades. Today’s industry professionals must be aware of current debates within fashion, while also being effective researchers, critical analysts, and excellent communicators.

This module will equip you with these skills, as well as different theoretical lenses to interpret the diverse fashion practices you'll encounter in a globalized industry. Through informative lectures and seminars, stimulating conversations, independent research, and critical writing, you'll develop an intellectual understanding of contemporary fashion.

You'll be encouraged to place significant emphasis on your self-discovery as a designer, and you'll define your unique identity and positioning within the fashion industry in preparation for a placement year and/or your future career.
