Finding a Fashion Design Degree with Open Entry
There's nothing worse than spending time putting an application together for a fashion design degree, only to then find out that entry to the course is limited to those with certain prerequisite requirements.
Not only is it a total waste of time, it's also a massive hit to your self-esteem, as it can easily make you feel like you are not worthy of entering such a course, or alternatively you are not able to work to the standard that the educational institution expects.
How to Search for Fashion Design Degrees?
Probably the best place to look for open fashion design degrees is right here on the internet. Depending on which type of degree you are looking for, there should be a solution which can be found easily without even having to leave your home.
Aside from this, there are also a number of other ways to enquire and investigate possible fashion design degrees, including:
- Going to fashion design school open days.
- Emailing your local fashion design school to enquire about possible admission.
- Asking your employer (if you're already in the industry) about possibilities.
Of course, the easiest way is clearly going online and finding all of the relevant details without having to commit to an interview, or without letting everyone else know that you are looking at completing a fashion design degree.
Submitting a High Quality CV Application
The best thing to do when completing your CV / application is to select only a few pieces of your work to include. Bulking you application up with work might seem like an idea which would impress the judging panel, however at the end of the day - just a few quality pieces will leave the judges wanting more, and therefore will generate more interest in your work than if you were to reveal a full repertoire in one go.
As a general guide, here are the things you should keep in mind when creating your fashion design degree application:
- Keep it simple - even in the fashion world, simple is best.
- Only include a few works that you have done - not your entire life-long catalogue.
- Proof read and proof read again - make sure the standard is high.
Hopefully, if you follow the above steps and use the tips we have given you, you'll be well on the way to gaining admission to an open entry fashion design degree.
