If you dream of designing the collections everyone's talking about, Swinburne's Bachelor of Design (Fashion) will help you make it happen. From day one, you'll be hands-on: sketching, patternmaking, sewing, and bringing your ideas to life in our studios and ProtoLAB. With small classes and access to advanced equipment, you'll explore every stage of the fashion process in a supportive space where it's safe to experiment. You'll develop essential skills like trend forecasting, collection development, styling, and garment construction, while also working with sustainable textiles and tech-enabled designs like smart garments and wearables. Industry connection is built into everything we do. You'll tackle real industry briefs, gain guaranteed work-integrated learning, and build the practical skills employers want. With our legacy as one of Australia's oldest design schools, we produce job-ready graduates ready to make an immediate impact. Applications are portfolio-based. See How to Apply for more info.
