Review of Fashion communication and marketing
During my time at The university of Chester i felt i found myself here and discovered a passion in the world of fashion activisim. I felt i could express my views on topics of identity and generational movement. It taught me fashion is so much more then the aesthetics our world has manipulated it to be. Overall, my experience here shaped who i am today and not only was my experience with the course positive but also the experience at the University was helpful and inclusive. The only pointer i would recommend is to have a more accessible form of communication with staff working at the University. I found replys were often delayed and not as knowledgeable as i would of liked.
My review
I haven't started yet. Hoping to have a great time in England.
