Distance Learning in Fashion & Textiles|

The fashion & textiles area has a dedicated website for the foundation degrees in textiles, clothing and footwear. These foundation degrees are designed to be studied part-time, via web-based distance learning, by people already working in textile/clothing/footwear-related jobs.

Inclusive Futures|

The Inclusive Futures research group is based within the Design subject group of the School of Built Environment and Engineering. It aims to actively promote and support inclusiveness in design, employment and enterprise for disadvantaged people. With the assistance of the European Social Fund (ESF) and other important funding bodies it strives to provide opportunities to disadvantaged people so that they become empowered enough to identify, develop and exploit their personal profile and so eventually fulfil their creative potential.
