Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This paper analyses science students' acceptance of subjects related to fashion and clothing.This study aims to analyse acceptance levels of students learning fashion-related subjects when enrolled in the Diploma in Textile and Clothing Technology, which is under the Faculty of Applied Sciences.A questionnaire was given to a group of students (n=59) who enrolled in fashion-related subjects consisting of close-ended and open-ended questions.This allows for a quantitative assessment of acceptance levels while also capturing qualitative insights into students' attitudes, motivations, and concerns regarding their studies in fashion design and pattern making.Findings reveal a multifaceted perspective on the intersection of fashion education and scientific principles, highlighting a strong appreciation for creative aspects of fashion design alongside a recognised need for rigorous technical and theoretical knowledge.Students emphasize the importance of practical skills, such as drawing and hands-on experiences, while advocating for a curriculum that integrates industry relevance and interdisciplinary approaches.
