Fashion Education
The world (and Birmingham) has gone style crazy. Fashion offers a real future. And Birmingham is the place to pursue your fashion dream. So many courses. So many options. So much vitality and new-found confidence all around. It is, after all, one of the new shopping capitals of Europe. From fashion design to jewellery craftsmanship, let the career start here.
Do you have a passion for fashion? Or gems of jewellery ideas. Then Birmingham is where you can bring them to life. Study. Grow. Be inspired here by our range of courses and buoyant style culture. The city’s higher education institutions offer a wealth of inspiring courses to help with the career you seek.
Follow in the footsteps of top designers like Betty Jackson and Bruce Oldfield. They honed their flair at Birmingham Institute of Art & Design (BIAD) - a faculty of the Birmingham City University. BIAD offers courses including Fashion Design and Fashion Retail Management at a variety of levels. Or if you’re just leaving school, the state-of-the-art fashion offer at Matthew Boulton College might be right for you.
Birmingham is the place for future designers and jewellers (we are home to the famous Jewellery Quarter). Where better to study than the internationally-renowned School of Jewellery. Master your craft in Jewellery & Silversmithing at HND, BA or MA level. Courses encourage innovative design. The purpose-designed School of Jewellery is in the trick of the action in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter and is the largest institution of its kind in Europe. Don’t forget, this Quarter is where 40% of all UK jewellery is made.
