**More about this course**
Our four-year degree in fashion textiles has a built-in preparatory year, which, through its exciting and imaginative approach to teaching, will help you discover your potential within different creative practices offered at the School of Art, Architecture and Design.
Your foundation year will be shared with others studying a degree with a foundation year at our School of Art, Architecture and Design and you’ll develop a range of skills that will be related to a range of our undergraduate programmes.
In the first term you’ll take on a range of short studio projects in visual imagery and making, followed by short-term projects in the second semester where you will be able to begin to specialise in textiles or further explore different creative practices. The individual project in your third term will be more closely aligned to your final BA award.
The foundation year will offer a balance of studio and workshop practice with lectures in critical and contextual studies, which will frame creative practice in historical, contemporary and cultural discourse. In those lectures and seminars you’ll find an emphasis on a thorough engagement with materials, forms and processes combine with intellectual skills, such as observation, analysis, discrimination, innovation and creativity. The programme will encourage personal research, exploration and development as a means to your bring individual interests and styles to creative practice.
The subsequent three years of your studies will be shared with students on the standard course. To find out more about the content you’ll study please visit our Fashion Textiles BA (Hons) course page.
