Degree Overview:

You will have the opportunity to specialise in one of four areas of textile design – mixed media, print, knit or weave – and will cover the key applications of fashion, interior and lifestyle. Mixed media focuses on creating contemporary collections using design and crafting of embroidery and embellishment to build up surfaces.

Constructed textiles, knit and weave concentrate on developing innovative textile structures through yarn and fibres. Academic specialists and professionals aim to prepare you for a career in the international textile industry, whether that be working with high street brands, high value designers and bespoke makers, or as a self-employed entrepreneur.
