53 textile design minimum requirements are given on page 44. why study at dundee?
Textile design at Dundee offers you the opportunity to investigate textile design in a broad sense by encouraging you to consider both the practical and relevant way textiles can be applied and used within society.
You will learn and develop visual and practical skills through making and exploring a diverse range of materials. Exposure to making processes which use cutting edge technologies and ‘Smart’ materials will help you build indepth technical, sensory and aesthetic knowledge of colour, structure, pattern and texture that can be developed into textile prototype samples and/or products.
The course aims to develop students who can contextualise practical knowledge through a range of material applications. This includes developing innovative textile design ideas and prototypes for industry as well as exploring the ways that practical knowledge can help solve problems such as sustainability, the ageing population, crime etc.
In a traditional sense, textiles are synonymous with domesticity and the body and you will be actively encouraged to challenge perceived definitions within traditional parameters and beyond, in order to define the ‘new traditions’ that textiles occupy.
