Programme Overview
The course gives students the creative and technical knowledge and skills they need to become professionals in the fashion industry. Using an integrated approach that combines creativity and applied technical proficiency, it takes students from design concepts and processes through to final production.

With a strong foundation in technical proficiency and a good eye for market trends, students are able to start honing their individual styles and identities through their collections.

Programme Details:
Raffles aim to rise to the challenges and accept that different eras will demand different values, skills, behaviours and competencies from all of us. As a higher education provider, we strive to lead in the development of creativity, design and management expertise to contribute to the development of society.
The Diploma in Fashion Design enables students to acquire the fundamental thinking skills, understanding and knowledge critical to key fashion design functions. In an increasingly competitive, commercial and technological environment, designers have never played such a central and important role in re-defining an ever-changing ‘creative’ environment. This curriculum allows students to explore and think both creatively and strategically and acquire fundamental skills related to the world of Fashion Design.
The curriculum of the programme will be delivered in a mix of teaching tactics ranging from lectures, demonstrations and seminars to tutorials and various assessment methods including assignments, presentations, research and development, projects, quiz and examinations. Throughout the programme, emphasis will be put on the fundamental conceptual abilities and aesthetic sensibilities of the students. The main objective of the programme is clearly about enabling students to develop basic and effective designs solutions for design problems as well as being able to begin to develop a personal style of design and design aesthetics.

JANG Soyoung
Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design (Class of 2020)
JANG Soyoung
I was adviced by an academy director to consider studying in Raffles due to the small class size setting, which would allow me to gain a more personalised experience and learn more information in comparison with other art schools. My Principal, Mr Giuseppe Joe Spinelli, always show me books and visual documents that inspires me. Also he provided direction how I could complete my project and helped me to figure out my own unique fashion style.
