Bachelor of Design in Fashion

Bachelor of Design in Fashion at The Creative School at Toronto Metropolitan University is an interdisciplinary degree program which allows students to chart their own pathway. In response to the rapidly shifting landscape of Fashion, the program focuses on emerging areas in sustainability, social justice, and inclusive design. Foundation courses introduce fashion systems, design literacy, fashion history and theory, and research methods. Students also choose fashion electives, with hands-on studio experiences in areas like fashion photography, event planning, apparel design, web design, exhibition and curation, textile design, and more! Students will expand their learning through university-wide liberal studies and open electives in subject areas of their choosing.

The curriculum provides students the flexibility to gain an understanding of the range of opportunities available within the interdisciplinary field of fashion. Students will have the ability to shape their individual curricular pathways, supported by academic advising, a foundation of core and fundamentals courses, and the option to choose increasingly advanced electives from a range of concentration areas. Over the course of four years, students will be able to identify their areas of interest and develop specialized expertise in those areas all while establishing a breadth of knowledge in fashion theory and practice. Working closely with subject matter experts, students will develop creative, technical, and theoretical skills to advance in the interdisciplinary field of fashion.
