Throughout the course we have had the opportunity to learn a variety of technical design skills through taught content and personal exploration, really allowing us as young designers to build a rich portfolio and wealth of knowledge in preparation for our venture into the industry. The course allows you to discover your own personal hand writing- encouraging us to celebrate our work and individuality in our ideas. The embroidery pathway has highlighted the endless possibilities for me in the design industry whether it be digital embroidery for a commercial application to hand embroidery for the luxury market. The creative freedom of the embroidery specialism has allowed me to identify my passion for couture embroidery and pushed me to explore traditional hand techniques. I thoroughly enjoyed the course as it opened up a variety of exciting opportunities for me from industry collaborations to embroidering an outfit for Beyoncé.

Course in Depth
Year one
Guided and encouraged by an experienced teaching team, engaged in current research or practice, and through workshop experiences supported by e-learning, you investigate key areas of weave, knit, embroidery and printed textiles before choosing one, or two technical areas to explore in the first year of the course.
In order to complete this course a student must successfully complete all the following CORE modules (totalling 120 credits):
In this module you will explore the connections between the creative fashion and textile industries in the past, and how this informs present and future trends. You will be introduced to the way individuals have influenced culture, freedom of expression and experimentation, and how this pushes boundaries and explores identity.
Through reflection you will analyse your research and the connections that you discover, developing core skills and communicating your findings and ideas through the use of industry-standard software.
Shared content is delivered via blended learning, this is underpinned by your course-specific content which is delivered on campus.
This module introduces you to the first two areas - printed and knitted textiles. Printed textiles tend to be more about image and surface qualities and knitted textiles is more about yarn and construction. The contrasting experience will help you to discover where your strengths and interests lie.
Workshop demonstrations will introduce you to the process of screen printing and the use of domestic knitting machines to build your knowledge and understanding through hands-on making. As minimising waste and keep materials in circulation for longer is important, you will be sourcing and integrating excess materials into sampling, choosing them for their colour, surface, texture and structural potential. You will be generating a range of experimental ideas, considering their potential within the world of fashion.
This module continues to focus on experimentation with materials, processes and colour to build core skills and your awareness of the scope of our discipline. It introduces you to the other key approaches to textile design – Embroidery and Weave.
Embroidery can be more about image, surface and textural qualities, and woven textiles is more about fibre, yarn and structure. As with the previous module, the contrasting experiences will help you to discover where your strengths and interests lie, whilst continuing to design with the world of fashion in mind.
The ability to put original ideas into an effective repeating pattern is core knowledge demanded by industry, and this module introduces you to the world of pattern creation, looking at compositional structures, theories, and the impact of colour, scale, rhythm and balance.
There are a variety of textile-specialist software and equipment involved in textile design and production and digital technologies have a key role to play in reducing the resources involved in the sampling and development. Adobe Photoshop remains the key program for pattern creation.
You will start the module by forming a personal concept and generating original, versatile imagery for pattern exploration. You will then test a range of compositional structures and problem-solve ideas using paper-based and digital approaches, including tablet-based drawing programs, Adobe Photoshop and AI.
Industry needs creative problem-solvers who can help implement sustainable design strategies that ensure that people and planet are considered equally alongside profit.
For this module your starting point will be a tailored garment. You will begin by considering its likely production journey, undertaking research to explore its potential social and environmental impact. You will use a lifecycle approach and learn about systems-thinking to gain awareness of the complex nature of our industry and the different sectors that exist within it. You will also see that the decisions textile designers make can make a significant impact in minimising a products negative impact.
Year two
In your second year, you explore trends and predictions in fashion and interior industries and explore the scope of career sectors and job roles open to textile designers. You shape your learning by choosing from a range of industry-focused and entrepreneurial design challenges and build professional experience through a collaborative design challenge or Work experience – all designed to help you identify your strengths and career interests.
In order to complete this course you must successfully complete all the following CORE modules (totalling 100 credits):
This level 5 undergraduate module is designed to equip students with the essential skills and knowledge necessary for a successful transition into the industry work placement and beyond. The module focuses on cultivating a deep understanding of professional practices, industry expectations, and personal development strategies.
Through a combination of theoretical knowledge, practical exercises, case studies, and industry guest lectures, this module provides students with a solid foundation for their future careers empowering them to thrive in a competitive and dynamic industry landscape.
Level 5 is all about EXPLORATION. There are lots of exciting sectors, markets and job roles open to Textile Designers, each involving slightly different challenges, work requirements and skill sets. There is a demand for designers who can help drive change to build an industry that is sustainable and contributes to an inclusive and equitable society.
This module focuses on Birmingham and the West Midlands offering a range of mini-briefs that simulates different design sector scenarios to help you begin to consider your place within industry and the contribution you can make.
Industry wants confident, informed, original thinkers who have the capacity to be both imaginative and pragmatic. What is your skill or what do you want to be known for? What have you been introduced to so far that you are curious to revisit and take further? What talent have you discovered that you want to nurture?
In this module you will identify your strengths and interests to build distinctiveness and originality to your creative practice and portfolio.
In order to complete this course a student must successfully complete at least 20 credits from the following list of OPTIONAL modules:
The purpose of the work placement module is to enable you to develop professional attributes and subject skills through experience in the work place, and to critically reflect upon your learning in that context. You will normally be expected to arrange your own placement, with support from academic staff and BCU Careers.
This module provides an opportunity for you to apply your knowledge and skills to an external, professional brief. The brief will be set by or in discussion with an external client/agency/community and could be a ‘real life’ problem to be solved, or a simulation. The resulting project should consider sustainability and address relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals as a key aspect of contemporary creative industries work. The module provides an opportunity for you to engage in a responsive, imaginative and professional manner with an aspect of your subject area, which contributes to the development of employability skills within the supportive infrastructure of the University. You will collaborate with students, and where relevant with other stakeholders, and will be supported to approach the project with curiosity, openness, critical thinking, innovation and practical and technical skills, in order to produce project outcomes and/or solutions which meet the required brief.
Creative careers can take people to a wide variety of, sometimes, unexpected destinations. Learning to see and exploit opportunities can be the key to a rewarding portfolio career making good use of your creative skills whilst earning a living from doing what you love, whether it's producing creative artefacts, performing, offering a service or consultancy. Learning to promote and ‘pitch’ those ideas to others is core to developing a successful independent, creative and entrepreneurial career. This module will build your skillset to enable you to talk confidently about you and your work. It will also help you to find or create opportunities, some may even come as a surprise to you!
Core modules are guaranteed to run. Optional modules will vary from year to year and the published list is indicative only.

Our Graduates
Emily Higgs
I'm a full-time Designer in the Product and Laying Pattern Design Team at Amtico Flooring.
I first heard about Amtico through the BCU tutors, whilst I was working at the University. After a quick interview process, I started a 6-month internship in June 2021 and have since worked my way up from an Intern, through to Junior Designer, to my current position.
My role is really diverse, from international travel to gather trend and market research, using CAD to recolour new print designs, through to collaborating with other departments across manufacturing to develop new laying patterns and even presenting new collections to global sales teams and customers.
The Textile Design course at BCU helped me understand how to develop cohesive commercial collections - no matter what the product!
The engagement from tutors, both during the course and since graduation, has helped grow my confidence in both my design and professional skills, and I definitely wouldn't be where I am today without their support!
Rebecca Lewis
Since graduating I have interned with Next menswear in the Print and Graphics Department. My internship with them came after my work was recognised at the 2018 New Designers exhibition, a hub for textile graduates to exhibit their work and make valuable contacts within the industry. The design department at Next contacted me directly after the exhibition and offered me the place.
Kate Hollowood
My current role is designer maker and company director of my company, Kate Hollowood Design. I work for myself and am currently the only employee, meaning I am responsible for everything involved in running a creative business; from making accounts to following up leads and attending trade shows as well as admin, pricing, quotes, diary bookings, product development and marketing…. the list goes on!
Gabbie Armstrong
I was lucky to have a part time job in the fashion industry during my final year at university. It wasn’t easy to juggle work and study commitments at the same time but I was dedicated to building my career as soon as I could.
The trainee position at Outfit Fashion helped me to understand the company’s structure and the different roles I could have in the industry, but most importantly I learnt about applying the principles of buying/merchandising and design that I had been learning throughout the course. Once I graduated the position became a full time role and I was able to develop my skills within this field even further.
