Fashion Communication: Journalism

BA Fashion Communication comprises three pathways: Image and Promotion, Histories and Theories, and Journalism. We encourage collaboration at every stage, and throughout the course you will work on projects with the other pathways and with students of the BA Fashion Design course.

Fashion Communication: Journalism is multi-platform, incorporating writing and broadcast, both editorial and commercial content creation. Students can explore written journalism, new platforms and diverse digital media, such as podcast and documentary film. You will be taught by practicing journalists, undertake live projects with fashion brands and community partners, and have the opportunity to gain invaluable work experience through internships and freelance projects. We attract applicants with writing skills and keen interest in journalism, but with an ability to work with visual and audio media, with editorial and directorial skills.

Fashion Communication at Central Saint Martins has a global reputation for innovation and originality. Our students are encouraged to be adaptable, to think critically and to challenge existing modes of representation. Our alumni work at the forefront of an ever-evolving field, in an ever-diversifying range of roles, including freelance journalists, fashion editors, content creators, producers and presenters. Our outlook is international, inclusive and diverse, reflecting the global nature of our community. We believe we must constantly challenge ourselves to shape ethical opportunities in fashion and influence the sustainable transformation of the industry.

Students join the four year version of this course with an optional Diploma/Placement Year and can opt into the three year version whilst at UAL.
