STEP – Institute of Art, Design and Management (IADM) has been working with Warnborough College Ireland (WCI) since 2006. Through STEP, students who obtain an Edexcel Higher National Diploma (HND) can earn a degree through a special top-up programme.
Degrees are offered in Fashion Design, Graphic Design, Interior Design and Business Administration.
In mid-December 2014, WCI Vice-President, Dr Julian Ng, visited STEP at its new campus in Lahore, Pakistan. A few blocks away is IADM’s sister campus, Melange, for beauty and hair design courses.
Top-up final year fashion design students put on a showcase of their project collections. Everything was presented immaculately, and the students have done both IADM and WCI proud. Design elements were taken from different sources ranging from the 16th century Versailles court styles to Mongolian patterns and ethnic Pakistani motifs.
Dr Julian Ng made several well-received presentations, working with both STEP staff, as well as with teachers from other schools. Many new initiatives were discussed and will be announced in 2015.
Culminating the visit was a graduation ceremony for this year’s graduates. Congratulations to all graduates and to STEP-IADM for their excellent education opportunities.
