About

Good news, for the tenth year we have been offered two awards of £5000 each by Procter & Gamble for Masters students at London College of Fashion, UAL.

We invite applications from students who aspire through their final degree project to produce innovative new work that aligns with the vision of Better Lives through the power of fashion. Awards will be granted on the strength of final project proposals.

The Better Lives concept, now embedded here at the College following a ten year programme, uses the disciplines of fashion to drive change that improves people's lives and builds a sustainable future, a timeless vision and need.

All disciplines can contribute to Better Lives, and interventions can be about the small and personal as well as big-picture. We encourage applicants who are engaging with new concepts for diverse communities of age, race and ability. Successful applicants will always have a research spirit of "Looking Ahead”.

No idea is too strange, bizarre or left-field. Indeed, we encourage the submission of truly innovative proposals - so long as they can be proved in principle on the timescale that the Award covers.

Since 2014 we have supported 18 awardees with projects ranging from fashion-art celebrating the little things in life to hard-nosed fibre recycling, from a fashion hackathon in Africa to the exploration of identity through fashion in a working fishing community, and we look forward to proposals from our 2022/23 cohort that we are sure will provide inspiration for our tenth award year, and for students in the future.  In return our aim will be to help you, through the awards, to fulfil your project dream.

Applications are welcome from all home, EU or International students. To be eligible for the Procter & Gamble Better Lives MA/MSc Awards students must be currently enrolled on a MA/MSc masters course at London College of Fashion
