The four-year textile design undergraduate programme encourages students to explore their potential in designing multi purpose and multivariate fabrics. It also prepares graduates for the expertise required in self and industrial-related employment. The programme, with its emphasis on broad based conceptual and technical aspects of design, is expected to facilitate future postgraduate studies in specialized areas related to textiles - i.e. fashion design, textile conservation. The curriculum encourages research into the rich textile tradition of South Asia and its relevance to contemporary society.

The programme consists of various levels of practical studio courses supported by a range of theory electives in art and design history. Other strong features of the programme are the introduction to marketing strategies and opportunities for internships in the textile design industry. The Contemporary Textile Seminar provides a space for discussing emerging issues in the fields of fibre, technology and textile applications. After completing a one-year foundation course, students wishing to specialise in textile design pursue their major for three years. During this time students are exposed to intensive studies in colour theory, handcrafted and industrial printing, dyeing and weaving techniques. The fourth and final year consists of an independent study programme and culminates in a degree-project show. Graduating students are expected to demonstrate proficiency in the technical, creative and professional skills they have gained during their time of study.
