Course Structure
Year 1 introduces you to knit, print and weave, after which you will specialise to fully explore media and materials, textile design, construction, and fabric realisation for fashion.
Year 2 offers textiles design projects aimed at appropriate fashion market sectors. You develop a professional portfolio of communication and presentation skills for the workplace.
Professional experience takes up most of year 3, where you will be on placement for a minimum of 27 weeks. You will have a number of textiles experiences to choose from, in agreement with the specialist tutors who will advise you. Professional experience can be gained from both leading national and international design houses and corporate companies.
In year 4 you will develop a professional portfolio of either menswear or womenswear along with a range of textiles samples. The work that you create will focus upon a particular market sector, informed by your professional experience year and established at the beginning of your final year of study.
