Here are the steps to take when applying to study at NWSD:
STEP 1: Get the Prospectus
- Once you have worked through our course offerings and have established which course you would like to apply for, make sure to go through the course prospectus so that you are more familiar with our admissions criteria, class schedule, subject structures and examination procedures.
- At this stage it is not required to choose between the Fashion Design or the Fashion Communication & Buying streams. All fulltime students register for the Fashion Design course, and it is then after your first year of study that you can decide to move over to the Fashion Communication & Buying stream. This is to ensure that your decision is made only once you are more familiar with the fashion industry and that you will have a better understanding of the differences between the streams.
- If at this stage you are not sure about any aspect of the course Prospectus, please email us ([email protected]) , or give us a call (+27(0) 18 462 5149) to clarify.
