Course info

Textile Design at DMU gives you the practical, digital and professional skills you need to become a designer in the contemporary global textile market. The course is a deep exploration of the fabric in the world around us - from wallpaper and soft furnishings to transport upholstery and luxury fashion and is designed to equip you with a multifaceted eye for design techniques. You can specialise in one of three areas – mixed media, print or weave – and will explore the key applications of fashion, interior and lifestyle. Mixed media involves developing contemporary collections through embroidery and embellishment, print translates imagery onto textiles with inventive screen printing and dyeing and weave teaches you to create innovative structures using yarn and fibres. Our expert teaching team will encourage you to take dynamic approaches to textile design that will influence the future of the industry – helping you to graduate as a forward-thinking, responsible designer. * We are members of the UK Fashion and Textiles Association which ensures our teaching stays up to date with the latest developments in the sector and provides valuable industry links that enhance our courses*.* * Employability skills are embedded into the curriculum, alongside opportunities to work on live briefs set by industry experts and take part in prestigious competitions. * You will have the opportunity to complete an optional placement year, with the support and guidance of our award-winning careers team.

My time at De Montfort University was a mix of growth, challenge, and opportunity. One of the best parts was the diverse and welcoming community. I met people from all backgrounds, which really broadened my perspective. The campus was modern and easy to navigate and I appreciated the support services, especially career guidance through DMU Works. However, there were challenges too. Course organisation could be inconsistent at times, and feedback on assignments wasn’t always timely. Despite that, I became more independent, resilient, and confident both academically and personally. Overall, it was a valuable and rewarding experience.

The best thing about DeMontfort University is the facilities. There is always somewhere to go for anything that you might need. It could be improved by making students more aware of different aspects of the university.

De Montfort University has a very clean campus that is conveniently located very close to the city centre. There are several facilities to work inside or sit with friends outside of lectures, and a selection of places to grab something to eat from throughout the day if I want to stay on campus. I would say, however, that this university would be even better if more car parks were open to students who are travelling from outside the city centre, as I find many of them are often full and sometimes it is difficult to park on campus despite paying extra to do so.
