The programme introduces retail and marketing concepts coupled with technical aspects of textile and garment design and manufacture. Many large retail organisations are now driving the design, development and production of textiles and clothing. These companies desperately need graduates with retail and marketing knowledge and an understanding of how garments are designed and produced to bring innovative and cost effective products to market. This course ensures you emerge with the necessary skills to excel in this highly competitive industry. The course comprises practically based modules focusing around clothing and textile design and production with lectures and tutorials in retail marketing subjects.
Assessments vary and can be continuous or at the end of a module.
Please contact the Department of Textile Design and Production for a brochure and details on open days. In a typical visit, lasting two to three hours, you will get the opportunity to meet the Textiles staff, look at previous students' work, tour the department and discuss opportunities.
