ntu fashion & textiles

is ntu good for fashion and textiles? It looks good but will I be able to still have a successful career if I go there instead of lcf or csm.

Also is there a good alternative scene in nottingham?

Hey,

We're glad that you're considering studying at NTU!

We have great industry links, as our Fashion Design students have completed live projects with companies like Oasis, Boohoo, Mulberry, ASOS, River Island and Burberry.

These links with industry give you so many interesting placement and internship opportunities. Students have had paid summer internships at brands such as GAP inc. in New York and Urban Outfitters in Philadelphia. Other recent placement destinations include: ASOS, Boohoo, Paul Smith, River Island, Topshop, Victoria Beckham and Vivienne Westwood.

There are also loads of opportunities to showcase your work too, you will present your final year work either on a catwalk or in a static exhibition at our Degree Show and may be selected to exhibit at events such as Graduate Fashion Week – so many of our students have entered competitions and picked up awards during their time at NTU.

You could also speak to a current NTU student using our online chat (ntu.ac.uk/chat).

Additionally, music is Nottingham's beating heart, and renowned venues are dotted across the city. Soak up the crowd's energy at gigs in the Motorpoint Arena or Rock City, or discover emerging artists at the Bodega, Rough Trade and NTU's venue Metronome.

Grime, bass and techno are covered by club spaces like converted warehouse Brickworks and Stealth, where headline DJs keep things exciting.

I hope this helps with your decision, but let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks
Jess – NTU Rep
