BA (Hons) Textiles Design is perfect for you if you have a love of colour, pattern, texture, fabric, materials, surface design, making, decorative drawing, decoration, constructing, manipulating, and practical engagement.

Textiles is a huge global industry that constantly surrounds us, on floors, walls, furniture, clothing and fashion, gift-wrap, cards, and even car interiors. It is one of the largest design skill sets used globally.

On this course, youll learn practical and professional skills that equip you to work as part of a team, or to set up your own business in textiles.

Youll study textiles in its widest sense and learn many skills, from print, stitch embellishment to dyeing and mixed media construction (basics of knit and weave). Youll have the opportunity to focus on a variety of specialist areas, including textiles for fashion, textiles for interiors and textiles as design and crafts materials.

Traditional skills are taught together with expertise in modern design development, production, and contemporary invention. Whether you go on to work for a retail brand, or an international design house, we'll prepare you for the challenges that the creative textile industry holds.

We formed an AUB textiles agency to promote student work at Premier Vision Paris and London Print Textile Trade Fairs, and students have engaged with industry through placements and live briefs – experiencing how the business buys and sells textiles, as well as makes and uses them.

Placement year

All undergraduate courses at AUB offer an optional placement year, to be taken between your second and third years of study.

If youre unsure about this optional placement, you dont need to decide now. Once youre here and studying with us, the course team will discuss the placement options with you, so when the time comes, you can make a decision thats right for you.
