Visual merchandising is a term used to describe a range of occupations in the creative presentation of goods and services, generally within the retail industry, though the context can be much broader.
Some of the occupations include visual merchandiser, window dresser, exhibition and special event designer and installation worker, creative stylist, and freelance visual merchandiser. Because of the nature of the industry, work may be found in a diverse range of related occupations. The course aims to develop multi-skilled, commercially and artistically creative individuals who will be flexible in their approach to work within the industry.
