Course Description

The Fashion Textiles BA (Hons) with integrated foundation year is an ideal alternative route into higher education, specifically designed for those who may not meet the entry requirements for the standard three-year degree. This four-year programme provides a supportive preparatory year (Year 0) that immerses students in the creative environment of the School of Art, Architecture and Design. During this foundation year, students develop essential skills through studio projects, workshops, and critical studies, helping them discover their unique artistic voice and potential. Upon successful completion of the foundation year, students progress to the standard three-year degree, sharing modules and experiences with their peers. The course emphasises a balance of practical making, material experimentation, and theoretical discourse, ensuring students are well-prepared for the professional arena. Available as a full-time course, it offers a comprehensive pathway to developing a professional portfolio and making informed decisions about creative practice, ultimately leading to the same award as the standard three-year degree.
