Our Alumni

KPU grads at convocation.

The Wilson School of Design's Fashion Design & Technology degree offers a wide range of options upon graduation. Alumna are employed by large companies and often specialize as a member of a design, production or marketing team or work for smaller design houses where they engage in all aspects of the business. Some graduates take an entrepreneurial or freelance route, while others have found rewarding careers in wardrobe for theatre, television and film productions.

Additionally, some graduates interested in teaching may be eligible for entry to UBC's Bachelor of Education and often secure teaching positions as clothing and textiles instructors in the high school sector.

No matter where they go, our alumna are leaders and change-makers making a positive impact in the world and we couldn't be more proud. Have a look at some of our graduating student's portfolios on our Wilson School of Design graduating website, and be sure to check out our careers page for some of the roles that our alumni hold and companies they work with. 

"My learning at the Wilson School of Design has been a transformational experience. It has completely changed the way I manage my life, my priorities, and my children, and it has taught me how to think. The classroom activities have given me directly applicable skills that are in demand in the workplace. When I read job postings related to fashion, I know what they’re looking for and I am equally confident now that I have all the necessary skills for those jobs. In addition to all the practical benefits, the school allowed me to engage with my peers and make strong and lasting connections with them despite the differences we have in age and life experience. My poise attitude, and kindness, and theirs in return, allowed us to collaborate as colleagues and forged strong relationships that will last far beyond graduation."
Alumni, Tina Brown, 2020
