The Bachelor of Studies in Textile Design and Production is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to thrive in the textile industry. It focuses on developing innovative, technically skilled, and environmentally conscious textile designers and managers. Students will engage in studio work and gain proficiency in various technical skills, including the use of digital software, to develop a comprehensive understanding of traditional and contemporary textile production tools and techniques.
Students will engage in various research projects, case studies, and practical assignments to apply theoretical knowledge and develop sustainable solutions for production and consumption in the industry.
In 3rd year Semester V, students will be given the opportunity to choose two elective courses, with each course carrying two credits. Students are required to present their portfolios every two semesters at the end of the academic year.
At the School of Textile Design, we recognize the importance of work, experience, and job placements as a key to shaping the future careers of students. Graduates can pursue various career paths in the textile and apparel industry, including:
The dynamic Textile Design programme at PIFD aims to develop individual artistic skills along with meeting the industrial demands globally. The programme encourages the students to explore various dimensions of textile applications for certain target groups. Students are exposed to both conceptual & technical aspects of textile design. This helps them to distinguish between fabric qualities, use of appropriate fibers, yarns, constructions, ornaments & special surface finishes to develop various fabrics in relation to final products. The four-year degree offers specialization in either home or apparel design.
