Fashion Design - Advanced Diploma

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 Advanced Diploma in Fashion Design enables students to acquire advanced 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 think both creatively and strategically and acquire more advanced 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 building more sophisticated conceptual abilities and aesthetic sensibilities of the students. The main objective of the programme is clearly about enabling students to develop more effective designs solutions for design problems as well as being able to develop a personal style of design and design aesthetics.
