Our MA Fashion and Textile Design gives you the opportunity to explore concepts and contemporary topics in design, fashion and textiles through practice-based learning and an in-depth study of design. Youll challenge traditional and contemporary uses of fashion and textiles and look at ways to create opportunities to promote new approaches and processes in fashion and textiles.
The postgraduate masters degree is aimed at those with an art and design background, who are looking to challenge established practice and offer new insights. The programme allows you to study an area of fashion and textiles that interests you most, while you work on inter-disciplinary projects and reflect on the creative collaborations between subject areas within the School of Textiles and Design, to foster design innovation.
Youll gain the knowledge, skills and competencies to meet the diverse demands of the fashion and textile industries and develop an inter-disciplinary understanding of key issues relating to the design, management, and innovation in fashion and textiles. Youll gain the necessary attributes to set you up for a successful career upon graduation.
Upon completion of the programme, youll emerge a competent and confident professional ready to tackle the global fashion and textiles industries with an in-depth understanding of the creative process and its management in both international and local contexts. Part-time option also available.
A minimum of a 2:2 honours degree or non-UK equivalent. A portfolio, or other supporting evidence that demonstrates an understanding of design-led processes and outcomes. Examples may be fashion and/or textiles design, but other evidence demonstrating a broad base of creative practice is equally considered. Evidence of creative-related experience from a work environment is also encouraged. Please include your CV as part of your application.
