Course area introduction
If you want a place where you’ll have the freedom to let your imagination run wild, and the support to allow your fashion design talents to come alive, you’ve come to the right place!
At Nottingham College you will work and learn alongside professional and successful designers in the heart of Nottingham’s Lace Market, part of the city’s Creative Quarter. Our fashion students are based in the original lace lofts up in the Adams Building, where textiles heritage meets the future of fashion. This space boasts space and light, perfect for fashion design.
We offer courses from Level 1 to degree-level, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to progress with us!
You’ll have the opportunity to showcase your work to the public and industry professionals at our catwalk fashion shows, which are a real highlight of the year.
Many of our fashion courses are validated by the prestigious University of the Arts London (UAL). We have a close working relationship with UAL, with students regularly progressing to study there as well as other renowned universities across the country, including the world-famous Central Saint Martins.
