What You'll Study

1 Level 1 (HE4)
Units at this stage introduce students to distance learning and undergraduate study. Special consideration is taken to support students who have not participated in formal education for many years and learners with a range of abilities, guiding them through the fundamentals of academic study. Students are introduced to experimental and exploratory textile sample making, its importance in the creative process, and the development of meaningful outcomes. They develop, hone, and personalize technical skills, develop knowledge of color theory and explore its applications along with understanding the importance of consideration and sensitivity to materials and techniques.
2 Level 2 (HE5)
Students at this level are supported in the transition from novice undergraduate to skilled, knowledgeable, and independent learners, putting into practice skills acquired at Level 1 and developing a personal approach to their textile practice. The units at this Level expose students to a range of current themes and practices, the aim being to encourage the development of a practice that is personal yet located within contemporary or emerging creative ideas. The topics and projects have been selected and designed for distance learners studying within their own communities, these can be virtual and/or in real spaces.
3 Level 3 (HE6)
This stage of study equips and prepares students with knowledge, understanding, and skills for continuing personal development and professional practice. The units provide a framework for the learners to generate and carry out projects based on personal vision and ambition. The aim is to strengthen individual textile practice and inform creative development through rigorous and challenging intellectual inquiry, resulting in a distinctive body of work.
