... United Kingdom
... Falmouth University

Course Overview

On this future and sustainability-focused Textile Design degree, you’ll develop and explore your creative potential: cultivating insightful, original design thinking in an industry-linked studio environment, encompassing both digital and artisanal textile production processes.  

Supported by an academic and technical team of professional designers and makers, you’ll develop confidence, global awareness, technical expertise, critical judgement and self-reliance articulated through your innovative and environmentally-conscious designs. 

You will have opportunities to collaborate with students on other degree courses such as fashion, photography and interiors, and be challenged to apply your knowledge of colour, pattern, weave, print and mixed media across various projects – becoming a champion for sustainable, ethical textiles. 

You will:

  • Learn essential skills for woven, printed and mixed-media textiles, with sustainability embedded throughout 

  • Embrace artisanal, traditional craft methods – such as hand-dyeing using plants from our Dye Garden – alongside the latest mechanical and digital production techniques mirroring industry practice 

  • Work in fantastic facilities, using an industry-standard kit such as industrial sewing machines, screen printing workshops, digital embroidery machines and weaving looms. 

  • Take on live briefs set by companies such as Seasalt and The Natural Fibre Company to add to your professional portfolio. 

  • Study at one of only six universities supported by the Worshipful Company of Weavers, which offers individual scholarships and educational grants  

  • Have the chance to travel to events such as Première Vision, the international textile and trend forecasting show in Paris
