London Universities

I'm currently a first year and I am planning on transferring back down to London for my second year.

Does anyone have any good suggestions on a good London uni that I can go to, preferably one for marketing/fashion marketing?

Hi @t.illy

I study fashion promotion and commutation here at Kingston and am really enjoying it!

Kingston is based in south west London and is just 30 minutes from central London. I find it is a good balance as it is not as busy and expensive but you can still enjoy everything that is going on in the centre.

In terms of the course my modules on my first year consisted of:
Fashion Context: This was all about PR and marketing, analysing brands and using marketing and business strategies, creating brand reports and new communication plans.
Professional Practice: A really creative module where we would have workshops in styling, photography, graphic design, image making etc. The project we worked on was creating a zine, so journalism was definitely something you could specialise in for this project.
CHS (Critical historical studies): In this module we learnt about the different histories and concepts in the fashion industry. Analysing images and text. The assignments for this are essays.
Fashion Promotion and Communication: This was really a mix of everything, putting all we had learnt into practice to work on projects that we could really be asked to do in industry. Such as proposing collaborations and creating campaigns, making sure we could back up our proposals with strong research.
