Make a visual statement with a Diploma of Applied Fashion Design and Merchandising. Our course teaches you the skills and knowledge relevant to fashion design and product development jobs, and assistant roles associated with fashion product management in a fashion enterprise.
Available on campus or online via distance learning (with special approval), the fashion diploma is designed to lead to a career or further training opportunities in either product design and development or business and merchandising, and elective choices are categorised by these specialisations.
This qualification allows for a generalist qualification, or specialisation in the fields of ‘Design and Product Development’ and ‘Fashion Business’.
When you graduate, you can articulate into a Bachelor level programme specialising in fashion at Canberra University, Torrens, or a Bachelor of Design at Griffith and save up to a year on your university studies.
