Fashion Design and Textile Design
We offer artistic course packages in both fashion design and textile design. Fashion design reflects societal behaviors and lifestyles by creating functional and expressive clothing and accessories, influencing activities from sports to work. Meanwhile, textile design focuses on innovating with textile materials and construction techniques, using the latest research in materials and sustainability to experiment and develop new uses for textiles.
Students applying to fashion design and textile design must also upload a portfolio and CV when applying. Please refer to the 'required application documents' section on our webpage for incoming exchange students for further instructions.
Due to the limited number of available places, students are not guaranteed a spot, and selection is based on applicants' portfolios.
