Fashion
The Department of Jewelry and Fashion Design offers a four-year Bachelor of Design. It describes its focus as everything that addresses the immediate vicinity of the body, and it pairs technical expertise with research in what it calls a material laboratory. The department holds an annual graduate fashion show.
In 2022 several graduates and lecturers from the department were nominated for the Edmond de Rothschild Award for Textile, Fashion and Jewelry Design.
