About Fashion, MA - at Kingston University London

The Fashion MA at Kingston University is designed for those looking to push the boundaries of fashion design. This creative degree offers a unique blend of creativity and critical thinking, providing you with the tools to innovate and excel within the fashion industry. 

In this course, we’ll encourage you to explore new design concepts, refine your technical skills and develop a deep understanding of fashion as both a cultural and commercial force.

Entry requirements

To apply for this course, you need a good honours degree (2:2 or above) in fashion or a related discipline. Alternatively, significant professional experience in fashion design may be considered.

We would like to understand more about you and your practice, as well as your aptitude and motivations for studying on this course. Please submit a portfolio in digital format, 15-20 pages in length. We’re looking for you to demonstrate four key values:

  • questioning

Your portfolio should demonstrate these values through your strengths, abilities, and experiences in a range of disciplines. Aim to showcase your knowledge of: 

  • visual research for fashion
  • design drawing
  • visual communication of your ideas
  • the design process
  • 3D experimentation
  • 3D final outcomes, which should include garments and outfits. 

Combining your work into a landscape PDF is a good way to ensure your portfolio is easy to access and stays the way you want it to look. A project may be spread over several pages or take up just one. Think about the order you put things in.

You can use other formats to show your work by including links in your PDF (such as links to a website, Instagram, Flicker or Vimeo account). You just need to ensure your links work and that they can be opened on different types of devices.
