Bachelor of Design (Fashion)

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. You'll develop essential skills like trend forecasting, collection development, styling, and garment construction, while also working with sustainable textiles and tech-enabled designs like smart garments and wearables. Industry connection is built into everything we do. You'll tackle real industry briefs, gain guaranteed work-integrated learning, and build the practical skills employers want. With our legacy as one of Australia's oldest design schools, we produce job-ready graduates ready to make an immediate impact. Applications are portfolio-based. See How to Apply for more info.
