Bachelor of Technology, Fashion Design and Textiles

The Bachelor of Technology in Fashion Design and Textiles at Ho Technical University is a degree programme within the Faculty of Art and Design. It prepares you for a career in the fashion and textiles industry, blending creative design with technical production skills. Entry is less competitive, making it a realistic option for many SHS leavers.

What this field covers

Programmes in fashion design and textiles typically combine artistic creativity with technical knowledge. You study the principles of design, colour, and fabric behaviour, as well as garment construction, pattern making, and textile production. Because this is a Bachelor of Technology, you can expect a strong emphasis on practical, hands-on learning and the industrial processes behind fashion and textiles.

What you can do after graduation

Most graduates go into the fashion industry as designers, textile producers, or quality control specialists. Others work in merchandising, retail buying, or start their own fashion labels. The technical focus of a B.Tech also opens roles in textile manufacturing, product development, and fashion technology.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other degree programmes, meaning you have a reasonable chance of admission if you meet the general and subject-specific entry requirements. However, you should still check the exact WASSCE subjects and grades Ho Technical University asks for, and make sure your results meet them.
