Overview
If you dream of designing the collections everyone's talking about, Swinburne's Bachelor of Design (Fashion) will help you make it happen. From day one, you'll be hands-on: sketching, patternmaking, sewing, and bringing your ideas to life in our studios and ProtoLAB. With small classes and access to advanced equipment, you'll explore every stage of the fashion process in a supportive space where it's safe to experiment.
The Bachelor of Design, Fashion, explores the future of fashion design. Study fashion technology, sustainable design, advanced manufacturing and production methods.
