Syllabus for Fashion Event Management
The University sets this paper in all four of her Semester III and IV circulars — Community Resource Management (VSC); Foods, Nutrition and Dietetics (VSC); Human Development (VSC); Textile and Fashion Technology (Major). The second year is common to the whole degree, so it is one paper here; the wording shown is from the circular that sets the fullest version of it.
