Overview
Textile Design BA is one of the routes we place students on most often, and it is offered widely enough that there is usually a fit whatever your profile looks like. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Textile Design is assessed through work you make rather than examinations. We currently work with 25 universities on this course across 20 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 5.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £18.000 to £37.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Where you land depends on your grades, your English and your timing. Send those three and we will tell you where you stand.
