Course summary

Learn to create garments, accessories and textile collections for fashion and interiors through sustainably driven and digitally enabled design.

Why study fashion textiles?
Fashion textiles is the largest of the UK creative industries; designers and creatives in this field are globally recognised for their skills and innovation. Today's fashion and textile designers are agile creatives with the skills to design responsibly and the vision to transform the future of Fashion.

Why UWE Bristol?
BA (Hons) Fashion Textiles is an industry-focused course that develops your creative, technical and professional skills across both fashion and textile design. You'll explore the full spectrum of fashion textiles, and will have the opportunity to specialise into one of three pathways: Fashion Design, Textile Design or Fashion Textile Futures.

You'll develop studio, technical and digital skills in both fashion and textile design, translating 2D ideas into 3D through garment construction, textile print, knit, embroidery, pattern cutting and fashion futures. Alongside core subject skills, you'll also gain transferrable ones like collaboration, communication, and project management.

Work with industry experts on live studio briefs and gain hands-on experience with an optional year in industry or to take part in international exchanges to places like Hong Kong or Berlin.

You'll study at City Campus; our creative powerhouse spanning Bristol, where you'll have access to dedicated studio spaces, specialist workshop facilities, and extensive library resources.

Showcase your work to talent scouts and potential employers at the final year Degree Show. And also at major events like London Fashion Week, Graduate Fashion Week, and The British Fashion Council's Graduate Preview Day.

Which of these courses is right for me?
As well as the BA(Hons), we offer our BA(Hons) Fashion Textiles with an integrated Foundation Year as preparation if you don't yet have the right qualifications to join at Year one.

Where can it take me?
Many of our graduates go on to secure successful careers with high profile designers and companies like Craig Green, Erdem, Matthew Williamson, COS and Victoria Beckham.

Some graduates set up their own businesses or go onto postgraduate study and research.

The course will equip you with the skills and confidence to progress into your preferred future.

    Software Engineering for Business
    I was born and raised in Nigeria and joined UWE early 2023. I will admit I waited till the last minute to decide to pursue software engineering as a degree, but I do believe I made the right decision. My passion for coding and software development is growing by the day and I cannot wait to apply my abilities in the real world. That’s not to say I don’t suffer from imposter syndrome occasionally, but I do think being in the right environment has really helped change my mindset and attitude.
