Postgraduate Diploma Fashion and Textiles Design

Our Fashion and Textiles Design degree explores concepts and contemporary topics in design, fashion and textiles.

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.
