B.A (Hons) - Textile Design with a Foundation Year
Our BA (Hons) Textile Design degree course allows you to experience broad textile specialist skills combined with design and industry awareness. You will be guided and encouraged by an experienced teaching team engaged in textiles practice, helping you to explore your ambitions and skills, testing career aspirations in five focused teaching pathways, which will prepare you for graduation and beyond.
About foundation courses
This four-year program has been specifically designed to allow students who do not initially meet the entry requirements for a three-year degree, to undertake the additional Level 3 study designed to ensure they are successful in their chosen degree program.
After successful completion of your foundation year, you will have the flexibility to switch (should you wish to change direction) onto many related undergraduate degree programs within the School of Fashion and Textiles.
What's covered in the course?
We work with you during studio sessions in a variety of ways and you will be supported by a highly skilled technical team who manage the workshops and deliver technical demonstrations. Your timetables enable you to manage a self-directed study resourcefully about module deadlines.
With no house style, we encourage you to embrace digital technology and traditional craft skills to enable your creativity, personal talents, and professional awareness to be developed throughout the course about career ambitions.
Our unique Next Step module prepares you and your graduate profile to bridge the gap between study and industry, whether as a designer-maker, a trend Consultant, visual merchandiser, studio designer or in another relevant role.
