Learning Resourses
Classrooms, Seminar Rooms & Tutorial Rooms
With 45,000 square feet of teaching space spread over 6 floors, the classrooms, seminar rooms and tutorial rooms at the Academy provide exactly the right type of environment in which to learn. We use state of the art facilities including IT suites and interactive whiteboards to help focus your studies and libraries to back them up. You’ll also be able to relax and interact with your fellow students in the student common rooms and other social spaces.
Library & IT Suites
The Library & IT Suites stock an extensive range of specialised books, DVDs and periodicals that relate to your specific area of study. There is a quiet study area, and with our wireless internet access and PCs, you’ll be able to source information from the Library catalogue with its huge range of electronic resources and databases. Our virtual learning environment suites have a wide range of computer software including specialist packages for visual merchandising and range planning.
Social Spaces
At the Café you’ll be provided with a choice of meals and snacks in a sophisticated but relaxed café environment that has the latest plasma screens as well as outdoor space. The student common room is another great area in which to meet friends and socialise, do things like watch MTV or the video jukebox, use the games table, or simply check your e-mails.
Virtual and Electronic Resources
Moodle is a virtual learning environment (VLE) that enables you to access course materials wherever you are. All students have an email account and access to an e-portfolio where they can store and display their work. We’ll tell you more about Moodle at the Academy.
Conference and Lecture Facilities
The Fashion Retail Academy has a state of the art lecture theatre that includes a media wall and catwalk facility, with break-out rooms for group work and seminars
