The world of fashion is a trillion-pound industry that employs over 800,000 people in the UK. Whilst the course will naturally appeal to those wishing to pursue a career in the creative industries, Fashion and Textiles is linked to the world of design, manufacturing, business and marketing and successfully complements and contrasts with a wide range of A Level subjects. The course includes the study of consumer trends, textile products and materials, construction processes and surface decoration techniques, as well as wider issues in the industry. You will combine creative and technological principles to create a marketable and innovative garment.
• At least 5 GCSEs at either 8 or 9 and three grades at 7. • GCSE grade 8 or 9 in your chosen A Level subjects. • GCSE grade 7 or above in Mathematics and English Language. • For two science A Levels, or Maths alongside science, at least a grade 8 will be needed in both subjects. Students are generally expected to achieve a minimum GCSE: Design Technology - Textiles or GCSE Art grade 8. As a Textiles student you should have an interest in the development of a product from the materials used, to its form and function. You should be able to generate and communicate ideas in a range of media and be prepared to apply your creative and problem-solving skills independently.
