About this course

BA(Hons) Fashion Textiles (with Foundation Year) shows you how to create garments and textile collections through sustainably driven, digitally enabled design. Learn how to design and manufacture fabrics, garments and fashion related products and specialise in fashion design, textile design or fashion futures. Fashion textiles is the largest of the UK creative industries; designers and creatives in this field are globally recognised for their skills and innovation.

Today's fashion and textile designers are agile creatives with the skills to design responsibly and the vision to transform the future of Fashion. BA(Hons) Fashion Textiles is an industry-focused course that develops your creative, technical and professional skills across both fashion and textile design. You'll explore the full spectrum of fashion textiles, and will have the opportunity to specialise into one of three pathways: Fashion Design, Textile Design or Fashion Textile Futures.

You'll develop studio, technical and digital skills in both fashion and textile design, translating 2D ideas into 3D through garment construction, textile print, knit, embroidery, pattern cutting and fashion futures. Alongside core subject skills, you'll also gain transferrable ones like collaboration, communication, and project management.
