FASHION AND<br />
TEXTILES
Welcome to BA (Hons) <strong>Fashion</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Textiles</strong><br />
This snapshot of <strong>our</strong> graduate collections showcases the edifying<br />
j<strong>our</strong>neys as well as future ambitions of <strong>our</strong> students. While offering a<br />
mere glimpse of the innovation <strong>and</strong> creative endeav<strong>our</strong> involved in their<br />
individual j<strong>our</strong>neys, their accomplishments also illustrate the excellence<br />
<strong>and</strong> dedication of <strong>our</strong> staff team, all of whom are actively engaged in<br />
professional practice or research.<br />
We pride <strong>our</strong>selves on promoting individuality within the c<strong>our</strong>se, which<br />
allows <strong>our</strong> students to fully explore <strong>and</strong> express their creative agendas<br />
in the assimilation of ideas <strong>and</strong> aspirations into dynamic contemporary<br />
fashion outcomes.<br />
Two distinct pathways offer a focus on knitwear <strong>and</strong> printed textiles<br />
for fashion. Our students engage with their chosen specialism through<br />
experimentation <strong>and</strong> innovation in the development of their creative skills<br />
<strong>and</strong> critical thinking. A strong emphasis on vocational <strong>and</strong> contemporary<br />
practices, including a forward thinking fashion marketing agenda, keeps<br />
the c<strong>our</strong>se relevant to the changing requirements of the fashion, textiles<br />
<strong>and</strong> related industries.<br />
We attract highly motivated, creative <strong>and</strong> curious personalities from a<br />
variety of backgrounds <strong>and</strong> cultures, all of whom share an ambitious<br />
philosophy to critically explore fashion <strong>and</strong> textiles across a range of<br />
creative, technical, marketing <strong>and</strong> intellectual dimensions.<br />
Our aim is to develop outst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> sought after graduates. We are<br />
proud of <strong>our</strong> record in fostering innovative designers, thinkers <strong>and</strong> decision<br />
makers who are able to adapt to <strong>and</strong> inform the fashion <strong>and</strong> textiles<br />
related industries as well as wider creative communities.<br />

About the c<strong>our</strong>se<br />
Throughout the three years you will develop y<strong>our</strong><br />
creative <strong>and</strong> technical competences in printed<br />
or knitted textiles for fashion, two <strong>and</strong> threedimensional<br />
design processes, pattern-cutting,<br />
manufacture, fashion illustration <strong>and</strong> computer<br />
aided design (CAD), all of which will enhance<br />
y<strong>our</strong> employability. You will also study <strong>Fashion</strong><br />
Marketing, <strong>and</strong> gain an in-depth underst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
of the relationship between essential creative<br />
practices <strong>and</strong> the contemporary business-related<br />
aspects of fashion promotion.<br />
Although the two textile pathways have their<br />
own specialist res<strong>our</strong>ces, you will mix <strong>and</strong> share<br />
activities during the c<strong>our</strong>se. This creates an<br />
exciting fusion of skills <strong>and</strong> talent that adds to<br />
a vibrant community <strong>and</strong> exchange of ideas<br />
<strong>and</strong> opportunities. However, each year group<br />
comprises of no more than 40 students. This<br />
offers a unique, highly specialised ‘boutique’<br />
experience with h<strong>and</strong>s-on staff helping you to<br />
develop <strong>and</strong> reach y<strong>our</strong> potential.<br />
As well as a highly regarded <strong>and</strong> experienced<br />
staff team <strong>and</strong> visiting lecturers, the c<strong>our</strong>se is<br />
further enhanced by well-established links with<br />
industry <strong>and</strong> a range of collaborative partners<br />
that bring an essential sense of enterprise to the<br />
student experience.<br />
Overseas study visits to major fashion capitals<br />
like Paris, Antwerp, Milan or New York are an<br />
important feature of the c<strong>our</strong>se, with itineraries<br />
organised to include visits to major trade fairs,<br />
museums, exhibitions, design studios <strong>and</strong> shops.<br />
Our students are part of a dynamic, supportive<br />
<strong>and</strong> challenging creative community that allows<br />
for unique j<strong>our</strong>neys towards individual ambitions<br />
in the fashion <strong>and</strong> textiles world.<br />
