Overview
Textile Design MA 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 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Textile Design is studio based, and most departments will want to see a portfolio. 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 £18.500 to £39.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
The fastest way to narrow this down is to send us your grades and English score. We will come back with a shortlist rather than a brochure.
