There will three short sessions:

  • Welcome and Introduction: An introduction to Fashion Business and Technology
  • Mini Lecture: Gain a sneak peek into your first semester as a first-year student. We will discuss student life, highlighting key experiences and assessments.
  • Interactive Session and Q&A: Our dedicated academic staff and student ambassadors will be present to guide you through what it truly means to be a fashion student here in the Department of Materials. You will also have the opportunity to interact directly with our knowledgeable academic and student ambassadors, who are eager to address all your queries.

We encourage you to ask questions. The panel will be made up of academic members of staff, administration staff and current undergraduate students. They can give direct answers about the University and the course; they can also offer insight into the development of the subject area you are interested in. However, if you would prefer to ask questions in private, you will have the opportunity to do so, at the end of the session via the private chat function.
