University of Salford Fashion degree accredited Creative Skillset Tick
Wednesday 2 December 2015
The University of Salford’s BA (Hons) Fashion degree has been accredited with the Creative Skillset Tick, a highly influential and employer-led quality mark for education and training.
The
Tick, awarded by industry professionals to courses that provide excellent
preparation for a career in the Creative Industries, was presented to the
University last night. This came as part of a special event, held at
Channel 4’s headquarters in London, which marked the Inaugural Anne Tyrell
student design awards.
This
accreditation is only given to courses that have the strongest links
with industry and the highest standard of teaching facilities. This is judged
by a rigorous assessment process conducted by Creative industry experts.
To
potential learners the accreditation proves that courses connect with
industry and teach professional skills that make sure graduates are work-ready. For employers,
the Tick signposts them to highly-skilled graduates and apprentices from
creative courses.
Speaking
after the event Professor Allan Walker, Dean of School of Arts and Media
at the University of Salford, said: “This is a fantastic recognition
for the University of Salford showing how our BA (Hons) Fashion degree combines
industry relevance with the theoretical and technical/craft skills that we have
worked very hard to develop in our students.”
Bashir
Aswat, Fashion Programme Leader at the University of Salford, added:
“We are extremely pleased and proud to have been awarded the skill set tick.
The accreditation clearly demonstrates to potential students that our fashion
programme is current, relevant and will best prepare them for a career in the
fashion industry.”
