A key pedagogy of JCA is studio practice. Students learn, develop, and work in dedicated professional studios and ateliers. Teaching and learning takes place through a variety of methods that include lectures, talks, workshops, one on one tutorials, group critiques, live projects and other forms of work-related learning. Theory is contextualised and reinforced through debate, reflection, and importantly through practice. All teaching and learning is underpinned by fashion enterprise and entrepreneurship.
We benefit from the professional network of our academic team and generosity of visiting professionals from across the industry who come to the campus to share their experience, expertise and potential opportunities with our students.
As a member of the JCA student creative community, you have a platform for idea exchange and collaboration, where your enthusiasm and engagement will be crucial.
Both are campuses are staffed by technical instructors who will assist you with machinery, practical operation and general know-how. True craft professionals, with extensive industry experience, our instructors are there to help you turn your ideas into finished products. Whether it’s an ad-hoc question, a one-to-one tutorial on a specific process or a formalised course, their approach is to empower and support students in practical learning.
