课程特征 Course Features：
Experimental textiles
If you're a contemporary textile designer, this course enables you to develop the creative and technological skills you need to thrive in a competitive industry, while challenging the very essence of interaction.
This multidisciplinary course focuses on the traditional textile processes (print, weave, embroidery, knit) while encouraging new experimental approaches. You will examine the development of 2D designs into prototypes and design solutions and explore the creative, business and technological options available to the contemporary textile designer. This can include new relevant technologies such as CAD / CAM Shima and Stoll knit technology, digital print technology, Jacquard weaving and multi-head 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.

This course commences annually in September and consists of two modules – module one (60 Credits) and module two (120 Credits).
Module one: This lasts approximately 12 weeks, consists of school related activities (66%) and subject related activities (33%).
