Fashion

The Fashion programme is a design course based on an artistic approach and focusing on fashion.

Thus, this field of design specifically includes clothes and accessories that help us express our identity and reflect the times in which we live.
In this sense, the programme is well-suited for a career in the fashion industry, especially in product development and design, but is also a launching pad for other professions in communications, image production and fashion journalism.

Professionalism and teamwork capacity are qualities that are common to all our educational activities. A unique feature of the Beckmans College of Design is the intense collaboration with various parties and organisations in the design field - in the form of influential guest teachers of current interest or exciting partnerships within the many projects that form part of the programme.

We also stress the importance of giving our students the incentive to develop their artistic skills and their own aesthetic language, with the aim of helping them become independent-minded creators who will eventually contribute to developing the field. Critical thinking and sustainability are two vital subjects that are emphasised throughout the programme.

The three-year programme leads to a BA in art and design (180 points) and is divided as follows:
The first year provides a foundation, focusing on the product level of fashion. This entails that students should learn certain practical skills and gain a basic understanding of the fashion design process, and basic design and fashion theory.

The second year is devoted to integrating practical and theoretical elements in longer projects, applying their skills and understanding fashion on a systemic level. Students carry out and present their own design projects, with support from professional tutors.

The third year gives more time for in-depth studies. Students carry out and present two of their own design projects of a high creative and professional standard, one of which should be a joint project with other disciplines. The third year also, of course, includes the College's acclaimed graduation shows and exhibitions.

The programme requires a knowledge of Swedish. For those who are not native Swedish speakers with a diploma in Swedish 1-3, it is possible to take the TISUS-test which is recognised by all universities in Sweden as a statement of eligibility regarding Swedish language proficiency.
