🌟Student Stories: Dare to Do

Meet Mohammad, our CertHE Business Management for Creatives student, who is building an e-commerce platform to make online selling simpler and more efficient.

Through his studies, Mohammad has developed skills in business planning and management, as well as learning about regulations and managing employees. With the practical knowledge and guidance from his lecturers, he is gaining the confidence to put what he learns into practice.

Mohammad is now developing his own e-commerce platform, inspired by his experience of selling through platforms such as eBay, Amazon and Instagram. His idea is to create a simpler way for businesses to sell online, using one platform instead of having to switch between different ones.

His own website is currently in development, as he continues working towards turning his idea into a business.

Watch Mohammad’s story and hear how VCAD is supporting him on his entrepreneurial journey. 🚀

Last week, our students stepped out into London and Manchester to explore the creative and commercial spaces shaping the industries they aspire to join ✨

At VCAD, we believe meaningful learning happens when students engage directly with the industries and environments connected to their studies. These experiences help bring ideas to life and inspire the next stage of their creative journeys.

For their Fundamentals and Thinking Through Making units, students explored a range of creative environments across both cities. In London, they visited Tate to research artists and support their project work before heading to Southbank Skatepark to observe urban culture and gather primary research. Students also visited the vamuseumSouth Kensington and took part in street photography activities around Piccadilly Circus, exploring visual storytelling within a busy public space.

In Manchester, Foundation students immersed themselves in the city’s creative scene, visiting the Northern Quarter, afflecks_manchester and Empire Exchange for inspiration linked to contemporary culture and creative communities.

Graphic Design students visited the whitechapelgallery and vam_east, using exhibitions and collections to inform their creative development and broaden their understanding of contemporary visual practice.


Fashion Design students visited the V&A East Storehouse, gaining insight into fashion, design, and material culture through one of London’s most exciting creative resources.

Fashion Media & Marketing students participated in film screenings at theatreship, conducted research at the British Libraryand V&A East Storehouse, and explored leading retail destinations including theofficialselfridges and libertylondon to investigate branding, customer experience, visual merchandising, and marketing in action.

CertHE Business & Management for Creatives students explored key commercial and cultural locations including Covent Garden, Spitalfields, Canary Wharf, electricshuffle, the Manchester Northern Quarter, and New Islington. Finishing everything with a networking event.

Another fantastic week of exploration and real-world learning 💫

🌟 Student Stories: Dare to do

Meet Romer, a Fashion Media and Marketing student at VCAD and the founder of

Inspired by his African roots, Romer created North Bioko Club as more than just a clothing brand. Through hand-crafted garments, custom jewellery, and unique artistic techniques, he uses fashion as a way to celebrate individuality. ✨

What started with a promise to build a better future for his family has grown into a powerful creative journey. Driven by passion and commitment to authenticity, Romer is challenging the idea that fashion should look the same for everyone.

In this Student Stories feature, Romer shares the inspiration behind his brand, the importance of staying true to your vision, and how studying Fashion Media Marketing at VCAD has helped him develop his understanding of creative entrepreneurship.

At VCAD, we’re proud to support students who turn ambition into action, helping them build the skills and confidence.

As Romer says: “It’s not a race, it’s a marathon. Keep running. Don’t quit.” 🏃‍♀️
