Summary
This course reimagines the use, practice and industry of textiles for the 21st century. It responds to a global landscape that demands sustainable, respectful, imaginative, inclusive, and innovative approaches to anticipate and forecast our textile futures.
Manchester and the School of Art have been at the forefront of textiles innovation since the late 19th Century and this course is built on that rich heritage, offering students the opportunity to challenge and innovate in equal measure.
As a student, you will develop innovative study hubs of interdisciplinary expertise, which will both rethink and regenerate textiles within its expanded field, including Textile Craft, Innovation and Digital specialisms. You will address the future paradigms of environmental and social change, new materiality, and the development of 4.0 Textile Industry. Hybrid creative learning environments such as the Manchester Met Digital Lab and specialist textile facilities support advanced digital learning and making, electronics, 3D printing and multi-media material making practices to be explored.
You will develop individual specialised projects which will become beacons within the expanded field of design. Learning is creative, innovative and interdisciplinary and teaching features design workshops, guest lectures, design events, reading groups, live industry projects and study trips.
Features and Benefits - While studying towards a particular qualification at MA/MSc level, students experience their subject in the broader context of contemporary design practice.
