Join a Master’s programme operating at the intersection of design, craft and fine art.
At the RCA, we actively challenge the role of the modern Textiles practitioner. Practice-led research is fundamental to our approach. We embrace a ‘thinking through making’ approach, exploring materials and processes to uncover new insights in the physical and digital domains.
The programme unites diverse practitioners, from commercial designers and individual craft and gallery-based practitioners to smart textile innovators. Be part of this vibrant community, whose broad membership is fertile ground for critical diabetes and questioning.
You’ll develop an individual creative identity through personally driven initiatives, collaborative work, and industry-orientated interdisciplinary projects. With a focus on radical experimentation and material exploration, we encourage an exploratory, non-linear approach that embraces the conceptual. You’ll critically engage with all aspects of the discipline to demonstrate your creative capability. We value all approaches and promote responsibility and ethical values.
Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process considers creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio, as well as your potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve high MA standards overall. You should have either a BA, a BSc or BEng, or equivalent experience, and a personal statement for the intended direction of study. We also want passion, commitment and a strong sense of personal responsibility for your own learning and development.
