What the college says

The AQA A-Level Art and Design (Textiles Design) pathway is ideal for creative students interested in fashion, interiors, or fibre arts. It suits those who enjoy tactile experimentation and want to build a professional design portfolio. Students gain advanced skills in fabric manipulation, stitching, printing, and digital textiles. Through independent projects, learners master the design cycle - from historical research to final garment or installation - developing the critical thinking required for university fashion and textile courses.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
