We believe that the friendships that the students make with one another while they are studying with us are as important as the networking opportunities they will have with an enormous number of external industry professionals.

Careers

The Condé Nast College places our students in a position to reach their dream career. The College offers excellent industry links and partnerships.

The College cannot pledge work placements at other companies but it will make introductions and recommendations for star students. The College’s careers advisor is able to guide students on further study, employment opportunities, internships, placements and projects relevant to each student’s requirements.

Campus Features

The Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design's facilities were created with the ambitions of the College and our students in mind, to inspire creative and academic brilliance.

The College is recognised throughout the world as a centre of educational excellence – a place where a new generation of the fashion industry’s best marketeers, PRs, stylists, editors, publishers and journalists have started their careers. The College has achieved this by putting cutting-edge, student-centred, “anywhere, anytime” learning at its heart. In order to be sure that our students derive maximum benefit from the unique insight they will receive into the fashion industry, the College has adopted a personalised and highly flexible approach to learning.

The Learning Environment

Our courses are based on practical methods, not just theory. Teaching is intensive and supportive, combining a high proportion of face-to-face sessions with the latest online learning facilities. This unique approach enables tutors to monitor students’ progress regularly and to deliver constant vital feedback. Students also gain valuable, practical experience by delivering visual presentations. The ethos of the College is to equip students with the knowledge and skills appropriate to a wide range of careers in the fashion industry or to prepare them for further study in relevant fields.

Our Print & Digital Library

Students have access to a wealth of printed and digital media on campus. The College’s central London location also means they are close to many important public libraries and museums including the British Library, the National Art Library at the V&A, the Design Museum, Westminster Reference Library, Tate Library and archive reading rooms.

At the Condé Nast College, our library boasts an impressive collection of physical books in our on-site library.

Additionally, you'll have the incredible opportunity to utilise WGSN, a trend forecasting company that is an industry standard resource.

We're proud to offer access to the Italian Vogue Archive, an online database containing every issue published by Vogue Italian. Furthermore, the Vogue Archive provides an online catalogue of every issue published by American Vogue.
