Textiles 3: Advanced

Overview

This course builds on the experiences that students have acquired on previous levels and requires them to continue to make the transition from being a self-motivated student to an independent designer. With the help of their tutor, the students use the course guidelines to plan their entire programme of study as a course plan. Each course plan is tailored to develop the specific interests and requirements of the student.

It is recommended that students have completed a Level 2 course but direct entry is available.
