Master of Arts - Digital Fashion

The MA Digital Fashion degree course at UCA Epsom propels creative thinkers, designers, and entrepreneurs to the forefront of fashion's intersection with emerging technologies, equipping students with the necessary skills, understanding, and confidence to shape the future of fashion.

This course, which was launched by UCA and was the first of its kind, continues to maintain its unique position in the industry. It offers a cutting-edge interdisciplinary program that encompasses both fashion and gaming.

In a world where fashion houses like Louis Vuitton, Moschino, and Gucci are styling game characters and releasing NFT collections, where AI is revolutionizing the creative landscape and blurring the boundaries between physical and digital, where government regulations demand digital garment provenance for sustainability, and where fashion brands increasingly seek fashion designers with 3D skills, this course stands out by preparing creatives for both the present and the future of manufacturing and self-expression.

By leveraging generative AI in conjunction with traditional methods, students will have the opportunity to create 3D garments in advanced contexts that are tailored for a competitive market. They will be immersed in a dynamic and boundary-pushing environment where they can collaborate with their peers to envision XR catwalk shows, develop user-customized sustainable fashion brands, launch game skins that defy genre conventions, create responsive costume experiences for virtual concerts and cinema, or even design virtual influencers poised for viral success. With a solid foundation in fashion garment construction, a deep understanding of software such as Clo3D, Substance, and Unreal Engine, and an advanced critical perspective on the complex field, graduates of this course will possess a rare combination of skills that are highly sought after in this rapidly growing market sector.
