    This unit will consider how the application of psychology can make a positive difference in the fashion industry and in fashion business. You will study theories and concepts from the core areas of psychology, including individual differences, biological, cognitive, emotional, social and lifespan psychology, and discuss how their application can develop potential solutions to real issues in fashion.

    Philosophy and Ethics in Research
     
    The study and application of ethics is a fundamental component of any psychology programme. You will learn the fundamental elements of conducting research with human participants from philosophical and ethical perspectives.

You will learn how to enhance wellbeing through engagement with concepts of critical reflection, altruism, gratitude and appreciation.

    Quantitative Methods in Fashion Psychology

    The unit introduces you to the research skills needed to understand human behaviour within the context of fashion and business. This unit will give you the opportunity to work collaboratively to identify an area of fashion business that interests you, and to investigate the links between your chosen topic and psychology.

It will also further your understanding of statistics and introduce you to data collection and data analysis software.

    The units you will study in Year 2 are as follows: 

    Cognitive and Biological Psychology

    This unit looks at fashion-related phenomenon through the lens of biological and cognitive psychology. You will learn about the neuroanatomy of the brain and how it conducts neural signals as it relates to human behaviour, and will also learn how these processes give rise to cognitive processes that characterize our conscious experience of the world. This knowledge will be related to how we experience various aspects of fashion-related phenomenon, from understanding the design process of creatives, to understanding how we perceive the sensory qualities of fashion stimuli, and being able to evaluate sensory and neuromarketing applied in a fashion industry context.

    Qualitative Methods in Fashion Psychology
     
    This unit builds on the knowledge you have developed in Year 1. You will be introduced to qualitative research skills needed to understand human behaviour within the context of fashion and business. You will learn different qualitative research methods and data analysis techniques that can be used to analyse qualitative data and answer research questions. This unit will give you the opportunity to work collaboratively to identify an area of fashion business that interests you, and to investigate the links between your chosen topic and psychology and conduct qualitative research.

It will also introduce you to software for qualitative data analysis.

    Fashion Consumer Psychology and Sustainability

    This unit introduces you to concepts of consumer behaviour and psychology through an investigation of how and why we buy fashion goods and services. You will investigate how consumer identity is formed, and develop your understanding of fashion psychographics and cross-cultural values, and how these may inform fashion marketing practices. You will apply market research methods and evaluate consumer behaviour in different parts of the world, and will appraise existing business practices and offer realistic solutions with sustainable development in mind.

    Dress and Individual Differences

    This unit focuses on personality and other individual differences that make us who we are and influence our emotions, cognitions, and behaviours. In this unit you will explore historical and conceptual issues in the study of personality and individual differences, and will develop an understanding of theories of personality and the self from a developmental perspective. You will explore topics such as intelligence, psychopathology and the value of psychometric assessment, and will use your knowledge of individual differences to understand the behaviour of individuals in fashion-related contexts.

    Industry Consultancy Project 

    You will learn how to make effective decisions regarding which research methodologies are most appropriate given a particular research question.  You will develop practical advanced quantitative analysis skills through designing an investigation, collecting, exploring, analysing and interpreting data appropriately using statistical software.
