Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Textile Design with Integrated Foundation Year

Program Overview

Join a new era in textile design, where the thread of sustainability runs through the creation of contemporary fabrics for fashion, interiors and art. You’ll master traditional and digital processes as you innovate with weave, print and mixed media techniques, from 3D construction and natural dyeing to exquisite hand-embellishment with beading and embroidery.

Based in lively, industry-linked studios and supported by professional designers and makers, you’ll develop confidence, technical expertise and critical judgment evidenced through your original and environmentally conscious designs.

You will:

  • Learn essential skills for woven, printed and mixed-media textiles, with sustainability embedded throughout
  • Work in fantastic facilities, using industry-standard kit such as industrial sewing machines, screen printing workshops, digital embroidery machines and weaving looms
  • Have opportunities to collaborate with degree students in areas such as fashion design, fashion marketing and interior design, across a range of projects
  • Take on live briefs set by companies such as The Natural Fibre Company, to boost your professional portfolio
  • Embrace artisanal, traditional craft methods – such as hand-dyeing using plants from our Dye Garden – alongside the latest mechanical and digital production techniques mirroring industry practice
  • Study at one of only six universities supported by the Worshipful Company of Weavers, which offers individual scholarships and educational grants  
  • Have the chance to travel to events such as Premie?re Vision, the international textile and trend forecasting show in Paris
