Our Textile Design degree course has an exceptional reputation for producing commercially engaged creative designers. Amplify your passion for drawing, colour, and materials to become a dynamic designer in this exciting and diverse industry.
Supported by a team of specialists, this course offers an exciting mix of practical workshops and design thinking. We enable you to explore your ideas through drawing, colour, design investigation, and surface and material experimentation.
You will work within the Textile Design studio, an inspirational and stimulating environment. The studio is the centre of our community, where students draw, paint, design, share and test ideas. You will also have access to other practical facilities such as our printmaking, ceramics rooms and 3D workshops.
We encourage you to establish an individual design identity, becoming confident and accomplished in developing print-focused outcomes. Applications can be seen across textiles and surfaces such as fabric for fashion, interior products, gifting, and architectural settings. You will gain experience of working with industry through a combination of exciting live briefs, international competitions, and employment opportunities via our professional network.
Traditional and crafted techniques, including screenprint and printmaking, are taught alongside cutting-edge digital design practices, surface embellishment, and manipulation processes including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, AVA CAD/CAM, Wacom tablets for digital drawing and Laser Cutters. Practical work is underpinned by context - developing an awareness of global issues and ethical concerns such as sustainability and intellectual property. Textile Design is an employability focused course. Employability, enterprise and entrepreneurship underpin teaching and learning on all modules.
