BA (Hons) Fashion (Textiles for Fashion)

Enrolment Daten September 2019

Welcome to the University of Northampton By its very nature, fashion is about creating new possibilities, about questioning

the status quo and about engendering meaningful change. It is no surprise that

as we settle into our new Waterside Campus we have established new ways of

interacting and working. While extending our well-established Changemaker

values, staff and students are working synergistically toward common aspirations

that are based on fluid understandings of the ways in which knowledge can be

both unlocked and exceeded through condensed alliances and mutual respect.

This is derived from an innovative pedagogic approach which values, celebrates

and encourages the untested, while assimilating both industry and sector

standards. Through the adoption of this approach our learners work in concert

with lecturers to reach across recognised design expectations in order to exploit

our geographic heritage while maintaining our sustained contemporary edge.

Geographically Northampton boasts a proud and prosperous heritage in leather

and footwear with a unique cluster of internationally renowned footwear brands.

Over many centuries artisans and designers have perfected their skills,

processes and materials establishing Northamptonshire as a recognised world

centre for gentleman’s shoes of the very highest quality. The building of our new

on-site tannery helps to support and preserve this status for future generations of

foremost world designers and makers. The unique opportunities that this

heirloom knowledge extends to our fashion, textiles, footwear and fashion

promotion students enables them to contribute consequential transformative

innovation to the global fashion industry from ‘hide to high street’ in such a way

that no other UK graduates can.

This Welcome Pack contains important information about the BA (Hons) Fashion

and BA (Hons) Fashion (Textiles for Fashion) programmes and their various

academic components. It includes an introduction to the University Modular

Framework (UMF) within which the programmes operate, the resources and the

staff. It will be supplemented by the University’s Undergraduate Student

Handbook as well as separate module guides which will be made accessible to

you through NILE (Northampton Integrated Learning Environment). It will help

you to shape your experience with us so that by the end of the programme you

can make well-informed decisions about your future. We hope that you will have

an enjoyable and rewarding experience on your programme.
