BSc. Textile Design and Technology

The BSc Textile Design and Technology degree at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is offered within the College of Art and Built Environment. It is a programme that blends creative design with the technical know-how of textile production, preparing you for a wide range of roles in the textile and fashion industries.

A programme that links art and industry

Textile design and technology sits at the meeting point of creativity and engineering. Programmes of this kind usually cover the principles of design, colour, pattern, and fabric structure, as well as the processes used to turn raw fibres into finished textiles. You learn about weaving, knitting, printing, dyeing, and finishing, and how to control the quality of the fabrics you produce.

What you will learn and practise

Most degree programmes in this field build both artistic judgement and practical skills. You can expect to develop a portfolio of design work while also learning about the properties of different fibres, the behaviour of dyes, and the operation of textile machinery. You will also gain project management, problem-solving, and communication skills that are useful beyond the textile sector.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is competitive. That means you will be considered against other applicants, and your WASSCE grades are important.
