This qualification focuses on creative approaches to the development and realisation of both contemporary and traditional textile outcomes, alongside decorative outcomes. This course will provide you with key skills for the textile industry: creativity, technical knowledge, commercial awareness, colour and styling, surface pattern design, texture and embellishment processes, and fashion illustration. You will develop a lively, creative and individual portfolio brimming with creative and technical skills required to progress onto a wide range of textile and art-related degree courses. The course is highly practical; therefore you will need very good organisational skills and a passion for creating and producing.
• Studying art and/or design at GCSE is advantageous but not essential. • Students who did not achieve the entry requirements will need to show evidence of work at enrolment. • Ideally you should have a grade 4 or above in GCSE English language. • There is no specific GCSE maths requirement to study this course.
This is a new-style linear A-level course. You will NOT take an external AS exam at the end of the first year. In the second year of the course, you will take external exams that assess content covered in the first and second year. These exams (along with portfolio work) will determine your A-level grade. The A-level components will be assessed through a personal investigation and an externally set assignment.
