Course name : BA (Hons) Design for Textiles
On our course students learn practical, professional and entrepreneurial skills that equip them to work as part of a team, or even set up their own business in textiles.

Students study textiles in its widest sense and learn many skills, from print, stitch embellishment to dyeing and mixed media construction. They'll have the opportunity to focus on a variety of specialist areas, including textiles for fashion, textiles for interiors and textiles as design/crafts.

Traditional skills are taught together with expertise in modern design development, production, and contemporary invention. Whether students go on to work for a retail brand, or an international design house, we will prepare them for the challenges that the creative textile industry holds.

We've also formed an AUB textiles Agency to promote student work at Premier Vision Paris and London Print Textile Trade Fairs. Students have engaged with industry – experiencing how the business buys and sells textiles.
