About this course
This is a part-time top-up programme providing a specialist level 6 progression route for students on FdA Textiles Practice, as well as those with other relevant level 5 qualifications wishing to complete an honours degree. The unique part-time, blended learning model allows students to balance study with other commitments, as well as the opportunity for learners from across the UK to study with us.
The programme comprises a blend of theoretical and practice-based learning, focussed on textiles in art, craft and design. Modules are delivered over two-years, part-time, 60 credits per year.
Students will usually attend college for five long weekends per year, with online tutorial support between teaching blocks. At level 6, the emphasis is on identifying areas of specific interest in relation to individual textile practice. In year 1 students will be supported in choosing subjects to explore through in-depth critical research, creative investigation and textile exploration. Students may choose to work with traditional fibres, fabrics and processes, digital skills, unconventional materials or a combination of media and techniques.
Alongside the textiles and research modules, students will also develop professional skills through practical and professional experiences. In year 2 students will focus on a Major Project, which will be a self-identified area of textiles practice, culminating in a body of resolved textile outcomes. To enhance professional skills, students will also learn how to present and promote their work, with the programme culminating in a professional exhibition of work.

Assessment methods
Assessment tasks are linked to the learning outcomes for each module and are completed by the end of the module. Assessments generally take the form of course work in the form of specific project briefs appropriate to each module, which may include some of the following:
Research files
Sketchbooks, drawing and visual journals
Illustrated reports
Textile sampling
Finished products
Verbal and visual presentations
Exhibitions or portfolios
Formative assessment takes place throughout the course, during feedback at one-to-one tutorials and through peer review at group critiques. This feedback is aimed to support the learner’s development and does not contribute to a final grade. Written summative assessment will be provided by the module tutor after the module has been completed. Verbal feedback may also be offered during tutorials to provide clarification.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
