    Textiles Research

  • The Textiles programme has expanded its MPhil and PhD numbers and has a well-established history of successful graduates and leading-edge researchers.

    Research students have a senior tutor, supervisor and specialist adviser. Research-specific activities form part of a wider pattern of lectures and seminars across the College. The rich academic life is further enhanced by the extensive relationships we have with world-class academics, museums and industrial institutions. The presence of MPhil and PhD students continue to stimulate the culture of research, creativity, individualism and analysis which benefits the Textiles programme and the School of Material.


    Current or Recent Areas of Research

    • innovative materials and process development for current and future applications
    • textile practice, pedagogy and theory
    • societal issues related to textiles and their context
