Design studies, Ulster University

The course content is too broad. I wish you had a longer time in the workshops, maybe pick three out of the five you would like to try to familiarize yourself with. I wanted to get into pattern making but we didn’t touch it. The lectures are great!

Bad communication between teachers and students.

Love my course, there's a lot of extra money for materials so save up haha. They charge you an extra £100 per year for materials which in first year covers a lot of what you'll need but covers less in second yr.

It’s good however I feel like for the price there isn’t a lot of supplies provided, the tasks are pretty interesting.

It is a great course except for the extra expenses

I couldn’t have been happier with my decision in choosing to study IXD at Ulster.

I wasn’t able to select my course so I had to select the closest one

Currently, studying Textile Art, Design and Fashion at Ulster University Belfast. The course itself is very broad and there are a variety of workshops that you can learn such as knit, print, embroidery, weave and fashion. The course provides diverse learning experiences ensuring students have the confidence, and skills for a future in textiles and fashion. The tutors are very technical, there would be a design tutor and then a technical teacher that will teach you how to actually make something and all the processes are commented. The staff are very nice and friendly and they love students to ask a lot of questions. They show you new techniques and learn from them. The technicians are always in the workshop and they are very hands-on. All the staff have very strong support. The library is open 24 hours so you can go to the library anytime you like.
