Textile design is a fast-paced and engaging industry, this course allows you as a designer to work with a variety of different elements including colour, materials, pattern, structure and composition.
Opportunity modules are a key part of the BNU curriculum.

Focussing on three core areas, print, knit and surface design, you’ll explore design led projects, here you’ll develop your research, drawing, colour, design and workshop technical skills.
