Sep 2026
2 Year
This is a two year Foundation Degree course, which upon successful completion allows you to apply for a third 'Top-Up' year and convert into a BA (Hons) Degree. This is a highly practical course which allows you to explore a range of illustration, design, traditional and digital skills in order to develop your practice as a Garment Maker, Pattern Cutter, Fashion Designer or Textiles Artist. Learners will be encouraged to generate and express ideas and communicate fashion and textiles solutions, exploring the creative and commercial potential of the medium through practical work. The course is structured to initially give you a broad skillset in year one before narrowing your practice into your specialist area of interest in year two. Contextual / Critical Studies will underpin your practical learning to ensure you are aware of contemporary practice and have the skills to critically analyse and evaluate your own work and the work of others. Work based learning is central to the programme to ensure you have the opportunity to network with practising artists and designers, and work on live projects and gain industry work experience.
