The academic content and curriculum of the Fashion Design Undergraduate Program has been carefully planned to provide students with the knowledge and skills required in the fashion industry. The program starts with basic art and design education and includes a variety of courses covering different aspects of fashion design.
In the first years, students receive basic art and design education. This includes basic drawing techniques, color theory, composition, perspective drawing and art history. With this basic knowledge, students develop their artistic skills and learn the first steps of the design process. Fashion illustration courses develop students' ability to draw fashion figures and visually express their designs.
Courses on the history of fashion provide students with information about the development of fashion and important movements in the historical process. These courses enable students to use historical and cultural references in their designs. Textile science courses provide comprehensive information about the structure, properties and uses of fabrics. Students learn how to recognize different types of fabrics and how to choose the right fabrics for their designs.
Sewing techniques and pattern making classes enable students to learn the basic steps of the garment production process. In these courses, students are taught basic sewing techniques, hand sewing and machine sewing. Pattern making courses help students develop their skills in designing and applying garment patterns. These courses provide students with the technical knowledge and skills necessary to realize their designs.
Computer-aided design (CAD) courses play an important role in modern fashion design. These courses provide students with the skills to create digital designs using CAD software. CAD courses offer students the opportunity to make digital drawings, modeling and technical drawings. Thanks to these courses, students can visualize their designs in a digital environment and make the production process more efficient.
Fashion marketing and brand management courses focus on the commercial aspects of the fashion industry. These courses enable students to develop strategies for marketing fashion products and manage fashion brands. Trend analysis courses provide students with the skills to follow and analyze fashion trends. This knowledge helps students to adapt their designs to current fashion trends.
Collection preparation courses enable students to consider their designs as a whole. These courses allow students to learn the process of creating a thematic collection and develop their skills in presenting this collection. Students experience the research, design, production and presentation phases of the collection preparation process.
The curriculum of the Fashion Design Undergraduate Program is designed for students to develop both artistic and technical skills. This program provides students with the wide-ranging knowledge and experience necessary for a successful career in the fashion world. Students graduate prepared for the fashion industry thanks to the courses and hands-on training they receive throughout the program.
