COURSE CURRICULUM

The Fashion Design with Textiles BA(Hons) course at Huddersfield provides students with a comprehensive foundation in both fashion and textile design, combining creativity, technical skills, and industry awareness to prepare graduates for careers in contemporary fashion. In the first year, students explore materials, sustainable principles, textile practices, and fashion design techniques while developing their ability to design and realize garments. The second year focuses on more advanced skills, including tailoring, creative pattern cutting, textile development for the body, and personal brand building, while continuing to emphasize sustainability in practice. Students refine their technical abilities and begin to develop a distinctive creative identity, applying design concepts to practical projects that integrate fashion and textiles. In the final year, students engage in advanced fashion design practice and undertake a major project that synthesizes their learning, supported by research, professional practice, and contextual study. The course encourages experimentation, innovation, and the development of a professional portfolio that reflects both fashion and textile expertise. With access to specialist studios, workshops, and industry-standard facilities, students gain practical experience in design, construction, and textile manipulation. Graduates leave equipped with strong technical skills, creative confidence, and professional readiness, prepared for careers in fashion design, textiles, and related creative industries.
