Course units

Units for the Award of MSc Psychology of Fashion: 

Block 1

Experiencing Fashion: Research Methods and Approaches (20 Credits)

This unit provides an overview of the range of research methods, approaches, and tools used in psychology to understand how people experience fashion. By applying psychological research to the fashion and creative industries, you will understand the relationship between theory and practice, and the multi-faceted impact of psychological research. You will also learn about philosophy and ethics in research and develop the skills necessary for designing robust research.

Personality and Individual Differences (20 Credits)

This unit focuses on personality and other individual differences that make us who we are and influence our emotions, cognitions, and behaviours. In the unit, you will explore personality and the self from a developmental perspective, recognising that they are situated in our social and cultural context. You will discuss the value and limitations of psychometric assessment, as well as conceptual and historical issues in the study of individual differences. You will use your knowledge to understand how individual differences are related to our interactions with dress, fashion, and the fashion industry. The focus will be on applying psychological concepts and methods to enhance individuals’ relationship with fashion, as well as the fashion industry’s impact on society and the environment.

Cognition and Creativity (20 Credits) 

In this unit, you will learn the fundamentals of cognitive and biological psychology as applied in the context of the fashion and creative industries. You will examine the historical development of these fields and explore how the human brain and mind work together to support sensation, perception, reward, problem-solving, decision-making, emotional processing, and communication. In addition, this unit will cover the origins and evolution of creativity, as well as recent developments in related areas, such as well-being. 

Block 2

Data Analysis for Behavioural Research (20 Credits)

In this unit, you will learn more advanced techniques of qualitative data analysis and a variety of tests that can be used to analyse quantitative data and answer research questions. For this purpose, you will use software like SPSS or equivalent data analysis software and will learn how to use specialist online data collection tools. With the rise of technology and big data usage across all industries including fashion, the ability to understand and work with data and communicate the findings in an accessible format is a highly desirable skill.

Fashion Consumer Psychology and Sustainability (20 Credits) 

This unit focuses on key concepts in social psychology and developmental psychology to examine how people think, feel, and behave as consumers across the lifespan. You will investigate how social interactions, socio-cultural influences, and cognitive and socio‑emotional development shape consumer behaviour and consumption practices. By critically applying psychological theories to fashion contexts, you will evaluate current industry practices and generate ethical, responsible, inclusive, evidence‑based recommendations aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and UAL’s Principles for Climate, Racial and Social Justice. 

Fashion Together: Collaboration for Innovation (Social Psychology) (20 Credits)

In this unit, you will learn about social psychology principles relating to group dynamics and processes, critically examining how these affect group performance, and applying psychological literacy in professional collaborative contexts. You will also have the opportunity to innovate and explore through industry or college-based briefs while developing professional negotiation, teamwork, and design thinking skills essential to the fashion and creative industries. The emphasis is on cooperative learning practices that drive innovation and change within the fashion industry. You will have the option to engage with industry or college-based briefs, with a list of briefs available to choose from. Final allocations are subject to availability. 

Block 3

Master’s Project Psychology (60 Credits)

This is the final stage of your course and is central to achieving the course aims. The project provides you with the space to synthesise all the knowledge and skills you have gained on the course. You will identify and develop a novel opportunity for your research to expand the existing knowledge and understanding of the role psychology plays in the fashion and creative industries. Your project should evidence originality in the nature of the primary material, technical experimentation, or the application of challenging theoretical perspectives. Your project will be self-directed and you will negotiate the shape and direction of your project at the outset with your supervisor. Upon completion of your project, you will have generated a high-level masters’ quality dissertation that will showcase your academic literacy, research skills, creativity in research dissemination, and the professional standards that will act as a platform for your future career and professional development.

The credit framework conforms to the University of the Arts London framework in which the unit of credit is 20 credits (equivalent to 200 hours of your study time).

Showcasing at LCF

There are a range of showcasing opportunities students can take part in whilst studying at LCF. End year showcasing at London College of Fashion, UAL, is one of the moments students can celebrate graduating from their courses. However, degree shows are not part of the learning outcomes in a course curriculum and are therefore not guaranteed as part of studying with us. Students must register by a deadline to take part, and we are not able to show all student work so submitting students will have their work curated.

Please provide a CV detailing your education, qualifications and any relevant work or voluntary experience. If you have any web projects or other media that you would like to share, please include links in your CV. If English is not your first language, please also include your most recent English language test score.

Read our advice on preparing the tasks and documents for your initial application.

Study proposal advice

  • include a bibliography using APA referencing and an appendix for any additional material if necessary. This will not be included in the word count.

Please note, your proposal serves to inform your application and we understand that your ideas will develop and change throughout your studies.

Step 2: Video task

We will review your initial application. If you have met the standard entry requirements, we will ask you to submit a video task.

You’ll need to submit this via PebblePad, our online portfolio tool.

Video task advice

We’d like you to submit a 2-3 minute video to help us learn more about you. When recording your video, please face the camera and speak in English.

For top tips, see our Interview advice.

You also need to know

Communicating with you

Once you have submitted your initial application, we will email you with your login details for our applicant portal.

Requests for supplementary documents like qualifications and English language tests will be made through the applicant portal. You can also use it to ask questions regarding your application. Visit our After you apply page for more information.

Applying to more than 1 course

You can apply for more than 1 postgraduate course at UAL but we recommend that you apply for a maximum of 3 courses.

As every course has its own entry and assessment requirements, we recommend tailoring each application to showcase how your experience, skills and interests match that course. Applying for many different courses may make it more difficult for you to show that you are suitable for each course in a competitive admissions process.

Only apply to the course(s) you are most interested in – applying for too wide a range of different courses may reduce your ability to clearly demonstrate your suitability for each. It’s better to make fewer bespoke applications than many generic ones. This will help you to stand out where we have high demand for places.

If you receive offers for multiple courses, you'll only be able to accept 1 offer. UAL doesn't accept repeat applications to the same course in the same academic year.

Visas and immigration history check

All non-UK nationals must complete an immigration history check. Your application may be considered by our course teams before this check takes place. If your course requires a portfolio and/or video task, we may request these before we identify any issues arising from your immigration history check. Sometimes your history may mean that we are not able to continue considering your application. Visit our Immigration and visas advice page for more information.

External student transfer policy

UAL accepts transfers from other institutions on a case-by-case basis. Read our Student transfer policy for more information.

Alternative offers

If we are unable to consider you for the course you have applied to but your application is really strong, we may make you an alternative offer on a different course or at a different UAL College. This happens when our admissions tutors have found another course that they believe would be a strong match for your skills and interests.

Deferring your place

We do not accept any deferral requests for our postgraduate courses. This means that you must apply in the year that you plan to start your course and you will not be able to defer your place to start at a later date.

Application deadlines

Most of our postgraduate courses have 2 rounds of deadlines: one in December and one in March.

As long as you apply ahead of each deadline we will consider your application alongside all the other applications in that round. We always make sure to hold enough places back for round 2 to make sure we can consider your application fairly, no matter which round you apply in.

If there are still places available after the second deadline, the course will remain open to applications until all places have been filled.

For our MBA courses, there is only 1 deadline. This is 31 July for international applicants and 31 August for UK applicants. This is to make sure you have enough time to apply for your visa if you are an international student.

For our January-start courses, the deadline is in October. If there are still places available after this deadline, the course will remain open to applications until all places have been filled.

Careers

Your future employability is central to all our courses and as a student with us you’ll have access to a wealth of resources to prepare you for your future career in the fashion industry. Graduate Futures is our dedicated employability team who will work with you throughout your time with us to get you ready for employment. There are also a variety of opportunities on the course to enhance your employability.

Industry engagement

Our students engage with the industry in various ways throughout the course, gaining real-world experience and professional insight. Recently, students participated in consultancy projects, collaborating with companies such as Toray Industries, Inc. and Rey House. These projects allowed them to tackle real business challenges while deepening their understanding of the needs and expectations of both UK-based and international consumers.

Guest lectures and panel discussions offer valuable insights into the field and serve as excellent platforms for gaining future careers advice. For example, Vogue Business reporter Maliha Shoaib, WGSN consultant Ailis Swords-McDonnell, AQ co-founder and co-CEO Isabella Maldonado, and Maria Sbiti, Director of Responsible Innovation, all visited London College of Fashion to share their experiences during a recent panel discussion.

Potential careers

As a graduate of our course, you’ll be equipped with a range of professional skills, including survey design, data collection and analysis for both qualitative and quantitative research, and the application of descriptive and inferential statistics in behavioural studies. You’ll also develop the ability to interpret why and how people behave in certain ways, using psychological theories to inform your understanding, an essential foundation for work in research, strategy, and consumer insight roles.
