TextilesBA (Hons)

In addition to the University's standard entry requirements, you should have:

• a minimum grade of BBC in three A levels in relevant art and design subjects (or a minimum of 112 UCAS points from an equivalent Level 3 qualification, eg BTEC National, OCR Diploma or Advanced Diploma)
• English Language GCSE at grade C/grade 4 or above (or equivalent)
• a portfolio that contains a range of drawings, practical making, sketchbooks and work that provides a window into your creative interests and engagement
• a portfolio interview

If you don't have traditional qualifications or can't meet the entry requirements for this undergraduate degree, you may still be able to gain entry by completing our Textiles (including foundation year) BA (Hons) or the Art and Design (including foundation year) BA (Hons).

If you don't meet the entry requirements but have a strong portfolio and work experience, you may be considered for the traditional BA course.

We encourage applications from international/EU students with equivalent qualifications. We also accept mature students with diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Accreditation of Prior Learning

Any university-level qualifications or relevant experience you gain prior to starting university could count towards your course at London Met. Find out more about applying for Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL).

English language requirements

To study a degree at London Met, you must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. If you require a Student visa (previously Tier 4) you may need to provide the results of a Secure English Language Test (SELT) such as Academic IELTS. This course requires you to meet our standard requirements.

If you need (or wish) to improve your English before starting your degree, the University offers a Pre-sessional Academic English course to help you build your confidence and reach the level of English you require.

Assessment is inclusive and based upon practical work, reflective practice, presentations and written formats. You’ll be given regular feedback on your project and participation throughout the course.

Whether you aspire to be a craftsperson or a designer for the design industry, perhaps working for a huge high street brand or a couture house, our Textiles BA (Hons) will prepare you for a bright and exciting career.

Upon graduating, you can enter the professional design sectors in rich and varied ways. Our alumni have pursued successful careers, including in:

• education, as teachers at all levels
• providing studio design work
• managing small design studios (either their own or as employees)

Some graduates even set up their own successful businesses, in the UK as well as across Europe and Africa. These include:

• Flint Interiors
• Witts design
• Majeda Clarke, woven textile artist-trustee of Crafts Council, also winner of New Designers One Year On
• Vicky Cowin Hand Woven, winner of Elle Decoration Designer of the year
• Carly Breame Ceramics

We currently have three locations in Holloway, Aldgate and Shoreditch. As we evolve as a University, we'll be reviewing the use of these spaces to ensure all our students have access to the facilities and study areas they need to succeed. This means the campus where this course is taught may change over time.

The experience of our students will always be our top priority and we'll notify applicants and students of any changes to their teaching location at the earliest opportunity.

If you study your undergraduate degree with us, as a graduate of London Met, you'll be entitled to a 20% discount on a postgraduate course if you continue your studies with us.
