Commercial awareness and Creativity

• Studying my degree for 3 years has helped my design and production skills progress and broadened my knowledge of the subject area. It has also developed my ability to meet deadlines and work on my own initiative.
• My dissertation focused on a relevant issue of the online industry, so I gained a good insight into the modern ways of the fashion industry.
