Overview

This Incorporated Bachelor Year Zero in Textile Design BA (Hons) from De Montfort University International College covers an extensive programme of study that instils the practical, digital and professional skills required to become a designer in the contemporary global textile market.

Key facts

You will have the opportunity to specialise in one of four areas of textile design – mixed media, print, knit or weave – and will cover the key applications of fashion, interior and lifestyle. Mixed media focuses on creating contemporary collections using design and crafting of embroidery and embellishment to build up surfaces.

Print explores the translation of imagery onto textile surfaces with the inventive use of screen printing and dyeing processes. Constructed textiles, knit and weave concentrate on developing innovative textile structures through yarn and fibres.

Academic specialists and professionals aim to prepare you for a career in the international textile industry, whether that be working with high street brands, high value designers and bespoke makers, or as a self-employed entrepreneur.

Employability skills are embedded into the curriculum, alongside opportunities to participate in live briefs set by industry experts and take part in prestigious competitions.
