About

The Bachelor of Design in Fashion and Textiles is an internationally recognised degree that gives students the start they need to pursue careers across all facets of the international fashion industry. The degree provides the conceptual knowledge and garment-making skills required to transform creative vision into compelling fashion statements. Sustainability and social justice are threaded throughout the course.

UTS recognises that a commercial framework is important, and students are encouraged to become industry leaders through a focus on innovation, experimentation, individual expression and the future of fashion. Students have full access to world-class textile and fashion workshops, working under the close supervision of expert staff. This experimental spirit is balanced by close industry ties. Students get the opportunity to work on real-world projects with brands such as Australian Wool Innovation, Liberty London, ISKO Denim and Swarovski.

UTS also understands that the fashion industry is as much about people as it is about garments: through studio work and subjects in Design Studies students gain the communication and teamwork skills to develop, articulate and present their ideas to peers and industry. Graduates are recognised globally and many have gone on to work or study overseas, including fashion capitals London, New York, Tokyo and Milan. Leading international designers employing UTS graduates include Alexander McQueen, Kenzo, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Helmut Lang.

The UTS Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building (DAB) aims to contribute to the transformation of urban life, contemporary design culture and the built environment through its teaching, research, education and engagement with industry. The faculty's three schools deliver courses that span the full range of architectural, design, construction, property and planning disciplines. The UTS School of Design is ranked among the top 30 globally for its teaching programs. UTS's Architecture and Built Environment Programs rank in the world's top 150 (source: QS World University Rankings by Subject 2022).
