MA Textile Design

“I'm thoroughly enjoying studying for my degree in textile design at Birmingham City University. The University offers not only an extremely high standard of teaching, it is also a supportive and friendly environment in which to take my academic career forward and maximise my confidence and potential.

“Throughout the course I have learnt a variety of skills, both creative and transferable. To open our minds and really 'think outside the box' is at the heart of our design work. Through placements, we have become more prepared and experienced, and ready to adapt to working life and to reach the highest level of professionalism.

“I'm making happy memories and friends. The support and care shown to students is remarkable. The department is a place of study but also a fantastic environment to meet friends and lecturers who really care.”
