You'll study at City Campus; our creative powerhouse in Bristol, where you'll have access to dedicated studio spaces, specialist workshop facilities, and extensive library resources.
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.
Work with industry experts on live studio briefs, gain hands-on experience with an optional year in industry, or take part in international exchanges to places like Hong Kong or Berlin.
Showcase your work to talent scouts and potential employers at major events like Graduate Fashion Week, The British Fashion Council's Graduate Preview and the final year Degree Show.
