Tradition embracing technology
The design of fashion knitwear at NTU has consistently been at the forefront of innovation and technological advancement. The School has developed an outstanding international reputation for its speciality in this field.
Fashion Knitwear Design integrates and develops the practice of traditional knitwear processes, while encouraging new experimental approaches. it focuses on developing 2D designs into prototypes and 3D products. As a student, you will explore the creative, business and technological options available to contemporary fashion knitwear designers, including new technologies, and local and global trends and innovations.
You will also be given a comprehensive introduction to Shima and Stoll CAD / CAM technologies, and will then be able to choose to fully integrate these processes with more traditional approaches such as felt making, hand knitting and embroidery.
We offer a great variety of MA titles, but best of all we give you the opportunity to work in a truly transdisciplinary environment. NTU gives MA students their own designated space, where you can meet students from different subject areas and obtain information and support from an MA coordinator and administrator. This makes it easy for you to work with your fellow students, learning the skills of collaborative and inter-cultural sensitivity.
课程内容 Course Content：
Course content
The course which commences annually in September consists of two modules – module one (60 Credits) and module two (120 Credits).
Module one, which lasts approximately 12 weeks, consists of school related activities (66%) and subject related activities (33%). School related activities relate to the wider needs of the individual in relation to research methodologies progression, support, academic and community issues in postgraduate study. Subject related activities relate to the three pathways which comprise Applied Design, Fashion Knitwear Design and Textile Design and Innovation, resulting in a negotiated student learning agreement for activities and support in module two.
Module two, which immediately follows module one and lasts approximately 28 weeks, comprises the core teaching and learning activities for MA Fashion Knitwear Design and MA Textile Design and Innovation as agreed in module one.
Emphasis is placed on the development of a self motivated and considered position or context which will reflect, in part, the information, experience and practice generated by the course.
The course seeks to achieve a balance between the organisational framework appropriate to postgraduate study and the provision of an environment in which the individual can develop specialised knowledge and skills.
