The Creative Studio module allows students to experiment with materials, techniques, and processes, encouraging the development of individual style and innovative approaches to design. Professional Practice in Fashion and Textiles provides practical experience, enabling students to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts and develop an understanding of industry standards and expectations. The Sustainable Futures Major Project serves as a capstone experience, where students integrate advanced technical skills, research, and creative experimentation to produce a coherent body of work that reflects sustainable and future-focused approaches to textile practice. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on the integration of creativity, critical thinking, technical proficiency, and professional awareness, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for careers in textiles, fashion, surface design, or related creative industries.
