Intro

Our established textiles degree mixes creativity with commercial insight. It has a strong track record of successful graduates who are working across the breadth of the textiles industry, including in fashion, art and interiors

You can explore printed, woven or knitted textiles and specialise in the area that most suits you. We encourage students to experiment with materials, reconsidering what textile design and production means in a world where issues of sustainability and ethical manufacture are high on the agenda.

Expert lecturers and technicians will help you develop your skills in drawing and in concept and design development, using both traditional craft and digital techniques. A practical approach to business studies is integrated into every aspect of the course.

Your third year is an optional industry placement. This year provides you with invaluable contacts and often graduate job opportunities.

Throughout the degree you’ll have inspiring talks from industry professionals and work on live projects for brands.

Modules

  • Market Research and Business in the Creative Industries

    This module introduces you to and equips you with a range of transferable skills, qualities and attitudes that will prepare you for professional career paths in the creative industries. Through investigation and critical reflection, you will have the opportunity to develop your knowledge and appreciation of the scale and scope of the creative industries and begin to locate yourself, your interests and your practice within a vocational context.

  • Introduction to Visual Research

    This module is designed to introduce you to a wide range of observational, investigative and experimental approaches to drawing and colour theory and other methods of gathering and developing visual research.

    The module initiates an understanding of the value of visual research to help enrich your vocabulary of colour, shape, texture, composition and idea generation/development and enable you to successfully produce sketchbook work to support your textile design development work.

  • Textiles Rotation

    This module provides you with an introduction to the differences between knit, print and weave as individual specialisms and their respective industries. Your critical investigation will inform your choice of pathway specialism. You will be expected to focus on the technical aspects of each textile specialism to experiment and investigate these processes. Using the technical knowledge within each specialist project and visual research you will produce three collections of designed textile samples, one for each rotation.

  • Textiles Specialism

    This module enables you to gain a greater understanding of the potential of your chosen textile specialism. A series of projects will develop your creative and technical abilities, extending your skills to explore and develop methodologies in visual and textual research encouraging an experimental approach to design within your textile specialism.

    The module also introduces you to relevant digital software packages and establishes fundamental digital design communication skills essential for design development and presentation within your textiles specialism.

  • Design and Culture Under Scrutiny

    This module introduces key debates relevant to the analysis of the past and present in fashion, textiles and fashion communication. Through lectures, seminars and exhibition visits, you will be introduced to, and engage with, critical ideas and academic approaches relevant to your field of study.

    The module is designed to support studio work through the development of critical thinking and formal written skills.

Making sure that what you learn with us is relevant, up to date and what employers are looking for is our priority, so courses are reviewed and enhanced on an ongoing basis. When you have applied to us, you’ll be told about any new developments through Student View.

Placement year 

You have the opportunity to spend your third year working in industry. The placement year in industry is academically assessed and your degree award will reflect your industry experience.  The placement is for a minimum of 20 weeks.

There is a compulsory professional practice module in the second year which will help you prepare for your placement. There's also a dedicated placement team to help you apply for a position. 

Students work for companies in the UK and overseas, particularly in Europe and the US, and there are opportunities to work for high profile designers and brands, trend and prediction agencies, textile design studios and fashion and textile manufacturers. 

It’s a great way to build on the skills you have developed on your course and to gain new ones

Employment demand for arts graduates

The British Academy has compiled a report (May 2020) quantifying the demand for arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) skills in the workplace. It helps to answer the legitimate question of what the economic return is on undertaking a degree, both in time and money. 

According to the report:

  • As arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates progress through the first ten years of their career they are able make strong progress up the career ladder into roles attracting higher salaries
  • Arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates are employed in some of the fastest growing sectors including financial services, education, social work, the media and creative industries
  • Of the ten fastest growing sectors, eight employ more graduates from AHSS than other disciplines

This makes AHSS graduates at the heart of some of the most exciting, productive, largest and fastest-growing sectors of the UK economy.

Future skills demand

According to the report:

  • With the challenges the world is facing – climate change, global pandemics, the growth of populism – the UK needs the insights of the arts, humanities and social sciences (AHSS) as much as those from science, technology and engineering (STEM)
  • Evidence within the report shows that Arts, humanities and social science (AHSS) graduates are central to these challenges and changes – they will be vital in giving us the tools to examine and explain human behaviour, understand how society functions, learn from the past and apply those lessons to the present, and analyse the drivers and implications of a changing world and how different countries, places and cultures interact.

Specialist equipment is provided to cover essential learning. Students may choose to buy their own specialist equipment, these may include cameras, or computers and software, university/student discounts are available for some equipment and software. Budgets can range from £50–£2,000. Buying specialist equipment is best undertaken in consultation with our academic and technical staff. This expenditure is not essential to pass any of our courses.

  • For some courses you will need to budget up to £150 for stationery.
  • Final-year graduation shows are opportunities to present your final, independent project work to the public. Practice-based courses will typically incur higher costs. Depending on the specific nature of your final project you will need to budget between £20–£2,500.

You can chat with our enquiries team if you have a question or need more information. Or check our finance pages for advice about funding and scholarships as well as more information about fees and advice on international and island fee-paying status.
