Following our recent celebration of our UK-leading results in the Guardian University Guide 2027, we’re taking a closer look at what makes our Surface Pattern & Textiles programme special.

✨1st in the UK for Fashion & Textiles✨

This, met with the sense of belonging and community engendered through our art school environment, makes this programme a really special place to work and study.”

Georgia McKie, programme manager BA Surface Pattern & Textiles

Small group sizes, excellent facilities, live projects and strong employability experiences - all within a supportive art school community.
