Welcome to your course
Welcome to Westminster School of Arts and congratulations on your place on the Fashion Manufacturing MA course.
As part of the Fashion Manufacturing MA course, you are joining a talented and diverse community of postgraduate fashion students, studying a broad range of fashion disciplines. We look forward to working with you, and we will endeavour to ensure that your time with us will be exciting, challenging, and fulfilling.
Please familiarise yourself with University procedures and the Blackboard site (BB), which will be the place where you can find the course materials, module handbooks, and the place where you will submit your work.
Below you will find details of the 2025/26 induction week, which includes the course induction programme. We have arranged several activities to help you settle in, meet your fellow students and prepare for your time with us. This will include familiarising you with the curriculum, your classmates, course tutors, the campus and community before you start the formal, scheduled classes.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Rayne Reed
