ND: SURFACE DESIGN
Course Aim:
The course is a three-year broad-based qualification to train students to be aware of, and to remain constantly in touch with, the ever-changing pulse of the textile design and lifestyle industries. The course is the platform for further study towards the degree BTech in Textile Design and Technology, which is awarded after a further year of study and allows for research and specialisation in the student’s chosen field.
Textile Design and Technology encompasses a wide range of surface applications. While the course is structured to afford the most suitable preparation for entry into the textile design and lifestyle industries, it also exposes students to such surface applications as gift-wrap, wallpaper, fashion textiles, home textiles, carpet design as well as surface design on ceramics, glass, wood, plastics, steel and automotive fabrics.
Opportunities:
The course prepares students for careers in fashion, interior, surface and lifestyle design industries. The careers also include merchandising and entrepreneurship.
