Developing a Textile Technology undergraduate course |
Are you a UK textile employer?
There has been no textile technology undergraduate course in the UK for many years and it has become apparent that there is an unfulfilled need within all areas of the textile industry for employees with this background and experience.
(Note: by technologist we mean someone that has studied the technology of the subject as opposed to a technician that would maintain and operate a machine)
It is proposed that a new course be created at a UK university to specialise in textile technology (title of such a course to be decided). This course could be a 3 year course or a 4 year course (with a year out in industry) leading to a BSc Hons degree.
