Overview

The Textile Design degree from the University of the Arts London (UAL) encourages transformative, multi-disciplinary and collaborative approaches to design.

The course encourages you to take a conceptual and speculative approach. You’ll build on your existing creative practice and skills redefining these within the context of your future career ambitions.

You’ll be encouraged to explore current fields of research and situate your practice in relation to them, for example:

Material and product lifecycles including circular design systems

Climate justice and the environmental impacts of materials and sourcing

Production and use of materials and products

Material and production innovations

Patterns of consumption and behavioural change

Social and racial justice, including ethical labour and associated societal effects

Community engagement and environmental issues

The designer as activist.

Textile Design graduates have gone on to careers as textiles practitioners and designer-makers either working with, or establishing their own, major and independent fashion labels.

Graduates have gone on to designing prints for Ralph Lauren in New York, working on sustainable craft design projects in India as well as in-house designer for Heritage Cashmere.

Other course alumni have gone on to freelance design work, interior product design or other industry related careers, while some go on to undertake further research.
