Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Textile Design (Placement Year) (J420)

Loughborough University's Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Textile Design offers students an outstanding, commercially relevant and innovative insight into the field of contemporary textiles. It provides students the opportunity to develop their skills through one of the four specialist pathways – Multi-Media Textiles, Weave, Print or Integrated Digital Practice – all of which are supported by excellent facilities, and technical expertise.

The course introduces students to progressive, creative processes to help them prepare, gather information, source materials, identify the origins of inspiration, and build in-depth knowledge of the discipline. Students are supported to experiment and develop their independent textile practice through conceptual design thinking and core practical skills. We foster critical engagement with theory and examine historical, cultural, political, ethical, and sustainability issues to balance creativity with academic practices.

The wide-reaching textile course nurtures individuality and encourages students to explore the breadth of possibilities within textiles, in preparation for a growing array of creative and professional opportunities. Students will graduate with the specialist knowledge for an enriched career in the textile industry and related fields, including fashion design, interior design, architecture, textiles art, post-graduate studies, research, product design, set design and digital sectors.
