Course Overview

The course provides excellent learning opportunities through practical workshops, challenging lecture programmes, discursive seminars, digital technologies, history, and theory modules, with an emphasis on professional practice throughout. You will be encouraged to take creative risks, be ambitious and pursue professional opportunities throughout. We offer the opportunity to experience both low and high-tech approaches to both an art and design practice to ensure confidence in selecting the right pathway. After a broad-based first year learning the fundamental skills associated with each specialism, visual literacy, and cultural contexts, second-year explores two and three-dimensional thinking and processes through the specialist skills modules. It is at this stage, students start to refine and select their specialism and pathway to focus their studies to ensure confidence and expertise. Support and guidance are given as students develop their practice in one pathway as a Textile Artist or Textile Designer or Fashion Designer. In the final year, students write their own project, directing their study in areas of specific interest and the year has additional graduate skills focus to ensure each student is ready for graduate life in the creative industries.
