Year 2 offers textiles design projects aimed at appropriate fashion market sectors. You develop communication and presentation skills for the workplace reflected in a professional portfolio.
In year 3 you develop a textiles sample collection and professional portfolio appropriate to your chosen textiles specialism. The work that you generate will respond to a particular market sector that you establish at the beginning of your final year of study.
