Optional Sandwich Year in Industry

The 4-year placement option is for applicants who feel they would particularly benefit t from an opportunity for more professional development within the fashion industry – spending one ‘sandwich’ year in between their second and final years at university working with one or more companies in the international fashion industry, either in London or abroad.

The course has very strong industry connections, and a great track record of successful placements that have benefited both the students and the fashion companies. Students gain an enormous amount of specific  and transferable knowledge during this period.

This means we can offer suitable students outstanding industrial placement opportunities. Examples of where our students have worked on their placements include:
