Course Introduction:
 |
This is a three-year higher
diploma level programme. It provides pathways that enable students to complete
their degree from our partner universities in 1 to 2 years. In this program you
will develop your skills and knowledge as a textile & fashion designer,
directing your work towards fashion outcomes which demonstrate an understanding
and application of textile design. Students articulate their ideas through an
exploration of the inter-relationship between pattern, color and surface and
its application on the body.

|
The relationship between textiles and fashion is
fundamental to this diploma course with particular attention to fabric
development and three dimensional garment shapes. The modules in this program
are designated to allow you to develop the conceptual, creative and technical
skills associated with the fashion & textile industry. The content of some
modules will be grounded in professional and industrial practice; others will
be more experimental and conceptual while final year modules will consolidate
your combined practice in fashion and textiles. Students will discover the
historical traditions of fashion and textile and explore what is happening in
contemporary fashion and textile practice.
