About this course
BA (Hons) Textile Design at Norwich is for the curious, creative student who wants to explore surface, pattern, material, digital and traditional textile processes for interiors and fashion. As textile designers you are the muse of the fashion industry driving sustainable and ethical agendas and solutions. You will design for environments, body and artefact and be agents of change in how we think about consumption, inclusivity and how we interact with the textiles that we wear and live around every day.
The course supports you to identify personal professional interests alongside developing creative, technical and industry skills. A distinctive feature of textile design study at Norwich is the ability to explore all textile processes throughout the course, rather than specialise early in your studies.
Through hands-on practical workshops and design challenges you will utilise textile processes of print, knit, weave and stitch, alongside dyeing, fabric manipulation, surface embellishment and digital software, answering industry-relevant briefs. You will define your own creative practice built on knowledge, skills, critical reflection, and experimentation while building your graduate portfolio.
KEY FEATURES
DIPLOMA IN CREATIVE COMPUTING
The year-long Diploma in Creative Computing year takes place between Year 2 and 3 of the course and is designed to introduce you to creative computing and gain an understanding of how you can use coding skills to advance and complement your creative practice. You do not need any prior experience of coding to participate, just a curiosity about creative computing and a desire to push your own practice digitally.
YOUR FUTURE
In your final year you will identify your unique contribution to the creative industries by preparing a strategy for your future direction, while evidencing skills and attributes through your portfolio work. Working with industry partners you will work on live briefs and competitions, receiving professional feedback and career advice in anticipation of graduate promotional opportunities.
Live projects, competitions and industry placements enable you to engage in and build external networks and opportunities, preparing you to be industry-ready for your self-identified career path beyond graduation.
