Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Textiles and Surface Pattern

Program Overview

BA (Hons) Textiles and Surface Pattern is a highly creative course designed to equip you with the skills, attributes and passion you need to work within the broad, fast-paced, exciting world of cutting-edge textiles and surface design.

Ethos
The ethos of the course is based on employability and creativity underpinned by hands-on textile design processes, studio based professional practice and contextual understanding. It allows you to develop as an individual designer and explore innovative design approaches, take part in industry relevant practical projects that offer insight into current design practice whilst encouraging speculative and creative risk taking in the design process.

This creative and challenging programme covers design for a wide range of contexts including:

  • Surface pattern design
  • Textile design for interiors
  • Print design for fashion.

The twenty-first century textile industry needs designers who have design intelligence, versatility and a range of skills incorporating both practical, hands on, material practice and the broader knowledge of product application, market awareness and innovation. This course is designed to offer that level of scope and diversity.

You will be exposed to a range of design possibilities through research, workshops, design projects, engagement with industry, personal investigation, product outcome to prepare you as designers for the opportunities the modern, global fashion and textile industry offers.
