What students say about textile-design

The campus is easily accessible by bus and also offers a car park, getting to campus is so easy and convenient and the area is a lot quieter as it’s not central, they offer an app where you can earn points when you buy from the food places in the uni the points turn into money which u can then spend, the thing I found the hardest was getting around I would’ve enjoyed a tour on my first day it would’ve made me feel less nervous but the people at reception are happy to help the support from my lectures especially my personal tutor has been amazing I couldn’t have picked a uni more convenient for me.

What students say about textile-design

Great university located in a beautiful coastal town. The staff are kind and supportive, and there to help students in times of need. The SU organises events which support students, like the free pantry on Mondays, where those of us who are struggling due to cost of living can take food for free . Additionally, there are many facilities, like the printing room and the MAC suite, which students can use to help them with their course work material. Overall a lovely place filled with amazing people, but awful prices. The campus art shop, while handy, has high prices and the canteen food is extremely pricey too. They also do not accept any cash, which can be a hassle.

I’m really enjoying my time at NTU! The academic environment is fantastic—lecturers are passionate about their subjects, and the courses are engaging and well-structured. There’s plenty of support available, whether it’s academic help, career advice, or mental health services. The social side is also a huge plus! There are so many societies, sports teams, and events that make it easy to meet new people and get involved. The campus itself is a great place to study, with modern facilities, good libraries, and plenty of study spaces.

What students say about textile-design

The facilities are amazing and the staff are extremely helpful. The building itself is really nice and doesn’t feel overwhelming. The only negative thing I would have to say is that unlike other universities I feel like the opportunities to do clubs outside of the institution are limited so if you are trying to make friends outside of your course it can be a bit difficult. However everything else is amazing. The food in the cafeteria is affordable and gets rotated every week so there is always something different and material cost aren’t to bad, in my opinion I feel they could be a bit cheaper however if you can budget properly then it isn’t to bad I just think that every student should be allowed an allowance given by the institution so they can afford materials. Overall my experience at the university so far has been amazing and I have learnt and refined a lot of my skills.

I have not had any worse experience at UWE rather, it has been a fantastic journey so far since i started my MSC program in January. The environment is conducive for studying and there are up to date facilities to use. I believe there will be room for improvement in some places but i am not sure yet as i just started my program in January and still exploring but so far so good, it has been a fantastic journey and i look forward to many more memories at the Uni...

What students say about textile-design

Based on my time here, the University of Huddersfield is an excellent choice if you're looking for a career-focused degree and a supportive learning environment. The standout feature is definitely the teaching quality, backed by the Gold TEF rating, as nearly all my lecturers were genuine experts who were passionate and approachable. The modern, compact campus is a big plus—everything is central, from the state-of-the-art library (great during exam season!) to the specialist labs, and the fact that Huddersfield itself is a really affordable student town makes a huge difference. While the local nightlife might not rival a big city like Manchester, the focus on practical skills, the strong emphasis on industry placements, and the overall sense of community made my experience highly rewarding and put me in a great position for my career.

What students say about textile-design

I am currently studying MSc International Business Management at De Montfort University, Leicester, and I am really enjoying my experience. DMU uses a block teaching method, and they are pioneers in this approach. I find it very effective because it allows me to focus on one module at a time for better understanding. The course is highly relevant to my future goals, and the teaching style is engaging and interactive — with weekly lectures, seminars, and workshops that make learning more practical and enjoyable. The only downside is that the workload can feel intense during each block, since all assessments come close together. However, this also helps build time management and focus, which are valuable skills for the future.

What students say about textile-design

Leeds Arts Univerity is small in size, meaning there are few noteworthy Student Unions in comparison to UoL, but does feel welcoming and safe. The university's student support is freindly and helpful from what I experienced; LAU is a very inclusive organisation and does strive to support students with a variety of services available. The campus is a little dull looking, with few spaces looking vibrant in contrast to the many white/grey hallways. I was able to use the Film/Photography course's cameras as a Music student, however the university's facilities seem somewhat limited as a whole, with spaces and equipment scarce close to submission time.

Studying textile design

Studying textile design is ideal if you love using colour, patterns, drawing and textures to create things. During a textile design course, you’ll discover how to put your designs into action by applying them to interiors, clothing, ceramics, accessories, public spaces, and more, as you explore some of the key themes in textile design like manufacturing and sustainability. You’ll gain design-specific skills as you learn how to master materials, likely using both traditional and modern techniques. Through your course you may have access to specialist facilities like screen printing equipment, dye labs, production facilities, fabric stores and CAD technology. You may also get the chance to work on live client briefs and do internships or placements, giving you practical experience. Graduates will be able to look for jobs in the fashion and textiles industries in roles like fashion designer, textile designer, patternmaker and stylist.
