Study Details: 1 Year Full-time
The course aims to develop practice-based learning, informed by an in-depth study of design. It tends to attract students from an art and design background, looking to challenge established practice and offer new insights. Through well-resourced workshops the course also promotes new approaches and processes.
You'll be able to study an area of fashion and textiles that interests you. You'll also be encouraged to work on inter-disciplinary projects, reflecting the school's strategy of creative collaborations between subject areas to foster design innovation. And you'll be supported by staff with knowledge that covers everything from design and manufacture through to technology and creativity.
The programme attracts students primarily from an art and design background, and expects that each student develop their own design collection.
You should hold a good (first or second class) Honours degree or its non-UK equivalent in a relevant subject from a recognised British or overseas university. In addition, work or project experience in a related company role will be taken into consideration as part of the application process.
