We are always keen to talk to people who have a genuine interest in textiles and would be happy to discuss your experience in the absence of standard qualifications. For details of our Curriculum 2000 policy statement please see the overview of the Faculty of Computing Sciences and Engineering . Career opportunities include design, textile technology, garment technology, technical service, fabric and clothing production management, textile and garment testing and clothing retail management. Many students progress from the HND to the degree course taking advantage of the placement year and one further year of study. The programme is made up of practically based modules supported by lectures and tutorials.
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.
