If you dream of a career as a Fashion Brand Manager, Visual Merchandiser, Buyer, Fashion Blogger, Wholesale Account Manager, Stylist, Fashion Publicist, Event Manager or Creative Director, the Fashion Marketing course is for you.
The Fashion Marketing course is ideal for students wanting to work in the fashion industry in styling, event management, marketing and business. You will be taught and mentored by industry experts who are currently working within major brands, fashion houses and agencies.
With an emphasis on fashion business, you will undertake fundamental units such as the history of fashion, styling, fashion merchandising, entrepreneurship and Marketing & PR. Students graduate with a globally recognised qualification and a well-rounded understanding of the fashion industry, both in Australia and internationally.
For Trimester 2 2020, all courses will be offered online.
Collarts offers two qualifications within the Fashion Marketing course, a Bachelor of Applied Business (Fashion Marketing) and a Diploma of Applied Business (Fashion Marketing). The Diploma is embedded within the Bachelor Degree.
The Diploma consists of the first 2 trimesters of the 6 trimester Degree. Students may receive an offer into the Diploma or Bachelor Degree depending on their application and/or entry requirements. If students apply for, or receive an offer for the Diploma course, they may use the Diploma as a pathway into the Bachelor Degree. If they successfully pass the Diploma level qualification, they may then begin the Bachelor Degree in the 3rd trimester should they so choose.
If students apply for, or receive an offer for the Bachelor Degree, they must complete all 6 trimesters including trimesters 1 and 2, which are also considered a part of the embedded Diploma. If a student enrols into the Bachelor Degree and chooses to finish the course at the end of their 2nd trimester and they have successfully completed both trimesters, they may exit the course with the Diploma level qualification. Students enrolled in the Diploma and Degree will have classes together in the first two trimesters of their course.
Please see course matrix above, outlining the embedded Diploma within the Bachelor degree.
