BA (Hons) in Textiles
Textiles are the very fabric of life. A tactile, sensory and aesthetic medium tied to geographical locations, natural resources, human relationships and technological developments, expressed through a tapestry of texture, form, colour, pattern and meaning.
The BA (Hons) Textiles degree course at Cardiff Met explores the diversity of the medium for contemporary sustainable practice, blending traditional processes and emerging digital technologies.
Synthesise traditional and modern processes in print, stitch, dye, fabric manipulation, knit, and elementary weaving and explore emerging digital technologies. Apply your skills to surface pattern design, 2D and 3D construction for interiors, stationery, fashion, and art markets.
You will prepare for professional practice through working with cutting edge studio practice, collaborating with other disciplines, exploring methods and theory, working on live briefs with real clients and undertaking self-directed projects.
You will be supported in developing your own unique style, giving you the confidence, vision, and professional awareness to take the next steps into your future.

Job Opportunity Potential
Whilst your learning is designed to develop you into a rounded and capable artist/designer and intellectual, your curriculum is similarly structured with your potential in mind.
As such, the emphasis that will have been placed upon your work ethic, both creatively and academically, is matched with significant focus on real world experience; from building contacts and undertaking placements to live briefs and, should you choose so, support in forming your own business.
You can elect to take a route through your second and final years of studies where you can engage with businesses or launch your own for the moment you graduate. In your final year, rather than submit a dissertation, you have the option of devising a detailed business plan.
Throughout your time at CSAD, you will be meeting and hearing from professionals within your industry, honing your skills and ideas for commercial and professional advantage. Cross-disciplinary projects will prepare you for teamwork later on, whilst live briefs will prepare you for deadlines and the demands of tight specifications.
