Course Overview

What you will learn?

You cover a range of topics to develop a career in fashion, including fashion theory, cultures and identity, pattern cutting, draping and textiles development, cycles, trends and forecasting, sustainability, and inclusive fashion design. Taught by experienced industry professionals, you also learn skills to turn your ideas and designs into original and innovative garments, including research, planning and marketing.

Working in a dedicated design studio with computer-aided design and industry-standard workshop facilities and software, you develop conceptual and technological skills to visualise your design concepts and adopt new ways of thinking. You look at innovative garment construction, creatively manipulating fabric around the body, and working alongside professionals on fashion photoshoots.

What makes our fashion with textile degree stand out?

You connect directly with the industry through live projects, competitions, internships and international opportunities, building your knowledge as a fashion designer and acquiring the professional skills for a career in the industry. You engage in critical discussions around contemporary practice, pushing your own creative experiments and giving you the independence and confidence to succeed within a changing global industry.

Entry Requirement 

Year 1 entry
96-112 points, including a creative subject, from any combination of recognised Level 3 qualifications. Consideration will also be given to students without formal qualifications but with evidence of practical art and design experience at an appropriate level. Students are invited to bring portfolios along on applicant days to show creative skills in art and design.

Interviews
Eligible applicants are normally invited for interviews. The interview helps us determine your potential to succeed and to set appropriate entry conditions matched to your personal circumstances and the demands of the course. The interview also enables you to see our excellent facilities, meet staff and students, and to learn more about studying at Teesside University.

If you are unable to attend an interview at the university, we can organise a virtual interview over the telephone or the internet. If you have a portfolio of work to submit in support of your application, this can be sent to us electronically.

English language and maths requirement
Normally GCSE English language and Maths at grade C, or 4 under the new grading system. Alternative equivalent qualifications may be considered.

Non-EU international students who need a student visa to study in the UK should check our web pages on UKVI-compliant English language requirements. The University also provides pre-sessional English language courses to help you meet the English language requirements.

Helping you meet the entry requirements
We may be able to help you meet the requirements for admission by offering you the opportunity to study one or more Summer University modules, some of which can be studied by distance learning.
