Fashion and Beauty Media

Fashion and beauty media occupies the space where creative industries, digital communication, and visual storytelling meet. It is concerned with how fashion and beauty brands, products, and culture are communicated across magazines, social media, digital platforms, and broadcast media, and with the skills needed to create compelling, commercially effective content in these spaces. The industry is fast-moving, highly visual, and increasingly driven by content creators who can operate across multiple formats and platforms.

At Southampton Solent University, this three-year full-time programme invites you to use your passion for fashion and beauty to become a multi-skilled storyteller, guided by industry experts and using professional facilities to deliver content and campaigns for UK brands. The programme includes an integrated foundation year, providing a grounding in creative communication, visual media, and fashion and beauty culture before you advance to the full degree. You will develop skills in content creation, editorial writing, styling, photography, video production, and digital marketing, building a portfolio of practical work that demonstrates your versatility to employers.

Entry typically requires around 104 UCAS tariff points.

Graduates work as content creators, social media managers, fashion writers, beauty editors, stylists, PR executives, brand communicators, and digital marketing specialists for fashion and beauty brands, agencies, and media organisations. The combination of creative production skills with industry knowledge and platform understanding prepares you for a sector that values people who can tell stories effectively across multiple channels.
