5 Days of Fashion Journalism course conducted by Condé Nast College was brilliantly structured and executed. It has been an awesome journey for me travelling all the way from Singapore to attend the course which enabled me to meet people and network. The industry speakers were exceptional, the fact that they were sharing their experiences so willingly with us, inspired me very much. The learning experience was phenomenal and the visit to Vogue House was the icing on the cake. What I have learnt over the week will definitely help to prepare me for any journalism challenges along the way. Thank you Condé Nast College for the opportunity.

Your Campus

Condé Nast College is situated in a historic building at Bedford Square, in Central London.

The area was built between 1775 and 1783 and is one of the best preserved set pieces of Georgian architecture in London.

The square has had many illustrious residents including Lord Eldon, one of Britain’s longest-serving and most celebrated Lord Chancellors, who lived in the largest house in the square for many years. Other famous residents include the second Duke of Devonshire; William Butterfield, an architect; and H H Asquith, a former Prime Minister.

The square takes its name from the main title of the Russell family, the Dukes of Bedford, who owned much of the land in what is now Bloomsbury.

Bedford Square is in the heart of Bloomsbury, an exciting area for academia and the arts; originally made famous by Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Set.

The College is a short walk from the headquarters of Condé Nast, as well as Vogue House, which our students visit as part of their exposure to the professional world.

Who Teaches at the Condé Nast College?

During your course, you will be taught by a range of our academic staff as well as industry guests and visiting lecturers.

I got a chance to network and meet with incredible people who inspired me, listen to industry speakers and visit Vogue House. Teachers and staff are very helpful. Dilayla's full review of the course can be found in her blog post here. Dilayla Kopuz, One Week Fashion Journalism, Spring 2019
