Develop creativity, within the broad and complex field of traditional and contemporary textile design, through intellectual enquiry and with aesthetic sensibility. The course is supported by drawing workshops and underpinned with comprehensive knowledge of digital technologies. We offer a strong studio culture in which students are inspired to express their design direction, exercising initiative and personal responsibility.

Individually negotiated student-led lines of enquiry are encouraged and supported by a wide range of thorough contextual underpinning and professional practice, which includes live industry briefs, competitions, forecasting and external exhibition opportunities. Students demonstrate self-direction in extending networks for creating work-based learning opportunities and gaining internships.

We intend to equip students with the necessary research, practical, technical, aesthetic and problem solving skills to develop and adapt their emerging practice for their future careers, which include team working, an appreciation of diversity, reflection and self-evaluation and the capacity to work independently to determine personal future learning needs.

The BA (Hons) students and Integrated Masters students work in parallel, sharing modules and parallel learning environments throughout the first two years and up until midway through the third year. At this year 3 midway point, the students on the two awards take different routes, the BA (Hons) students commence their final self-directed project leading to a degree show and the Integrated Masters students work at level 7 alongside other MA programmes.

A dynamic and demanding course, aiming to create the designers and innovators of the future.

Opportunities to attend international trips.
Visits to specialist studios, trade fairs, exhibitions and museums.
Graduates have been employed by companies including Debenhams, Selfridges, Joules and Anthropologie.

Course programme

· Year 1
In Year One you start to cultivate your observation, thinking and drawing skills into your individual style. You begin to explore the field of textile design and it’s contextual framework. You learn skills in understanding colour, fabric, yarns, materials and dyeing. Taught techniques in embroidery, print, knit and weave provide the foundation to your design development.

· Year 2
In Year Two you start to explore your potential focus engaging with modules as a textile designer for either fashion or interiors, and begin committing to areas of textile specialisms. Your facility for thinking, writing and analysing is expanded through professional and contextual studies. To establish an understanding of your style and direction, you tackle a combination of projects looking at advancing textile techniques and understanding your career options, these include competitions, live briefs and exhibitions.

· Year 3
In Year Three you undertake a dissertation and state your identity as a textile designer through an initial exploratory personal studio module. The professional context module leads all students up to midway through the academic year, and at this point as a BA (Hons) student you undertake the final 60-credit module leading to a degree show and graduation.

Course assessment

The module assessments demonstrate how well students have performed in tackling the intended learning outcomes, and is measured against grade criteria.

Throughout the module students will receive formative feedback through individual and/or group tutorials, peer seminar sessions and group critiques. In many cases this feedback is received both verbally and in a written format.

Students are informed about the ways that marks/grades and feedback are provided by the marking tutor(s), and they receive written feedback on learning achievements against the assessment criteria for a module assignment.

The feedback aims to enable students to see how to improve or develop particular aspects of their work, and students receive the summative feedback along with the marks within three weeks of the completed module submission date.
