2013BA (HONS) FASHION AND TEXTILES
Welcome to BA (Hons) Fashion and Textiles This snapshot of our graduate collections showcases the edifying journeys as well as future ambitions of our students. While offering a mere glimpse of the innovation and creative endeavour involved in their individual journeys, their accomplishments also illustrate the excellence and dedication of our staff team, all of whom are actively engaged in professional practice or research.
We pride ourselves on promoting individuality within the course, which allows our students to fully explore and express their creative agendas in the assimilation of ideas and aspirations into dynamic contemporary fashion outcomes.
Two distinct pathways offer a focus on knitwear and printed textiles for fashion. Our students engage with their chosen specialism through experimentation and innovation in the development of their creative skills and critical thinking. A strong emphasis on vocational and contemporary practices, including a forward thinking fashion marketing agenda, keeps the course relevant to the changing requirements of the fashion, textiles and related industries.
We attract highly motivated, creative and curious personalities from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, all of whom share an ambitious philosophy to critically explore fashion and textiles across a range of creative, technical, marketing and intellectual dimensions.
Our aim is to develop outstanding and sought after graduates. We are proud of our record in fostering innovative designers, thinkers and decision makers who are able to adapt to and inform the fashion and textiles related industries as well as wider creative communities.

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