To bolster the curriculum's learning objectives, students frequently undertake projects, competitions, and collaborations with industry – particularly during the final year.
Through participating in these external activities, students can boost their employability and promote their work to major employers. Competitive opportunities include New Designers (London); in the past students from the course have collaborated on projects with employers including Milliken, Alexander McQueen, and H&M.
Recent graduates are presently employed as designers, stylists, technologists, and buyers in major national and international fashion, textile, and interior companies. Examples of roles include: fashion designer, assistant archivist, head of embroidery design, assistant buyer, assistant homeware designer, fabric buyer, childrenswear designer, handbag design assistant, textile print designer and merchandiser.
