Check if you qualify

The BA Fashion Design at Radford University College is a degree programme in the Faculty of Fine Arts. It blends creative design with practical skills, preparing you for the business of fashion. Entry is less competitive than at some other Ghanaian universities, making it a possible route if your grades are moderate.

What fashion design programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually introduce you to the full process of creating clothing and accessories, from initial sketches to finished garments. You learn about textiles, colour theory, pattern cutting, garment construction, and fashion illustration. Many courses also include elements of fashion history and contemporary trends, so you understand where design ideas come from and how to build on them.

How hard it is to get a place

Admission to the BA Fashion Design at Radford University College is less competitive than at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, where the same programme is highly competitive. It is similar in difficulty to the programme at Accra Technical University and other technical universities across Ghana. That means you are less likely to face intense competition for a place, but you should still check whether your WASSCE grades meet the general entry requirements for degree programmes.

What you can do after graduation

Graduates of fashion design programmes commonly go into clothing and accessories design, working for fashion houses, textile companies, or as self-employed designers. Others move into fashion merchandising, styling, or costume design for film and theatre. Some graduates start their own fashion labels, using the business skills gained during the programme to manage production and sales. With the rise of online retail, there are also opportunities in fashion buying and e-commerce.
