Syllabus Received from:


"UNIVERSITY OF


MANCHESTER"



BSc (Hons) Textile Science and Technology

This programme may also be studied with Industrial Experience or with Study Abroad.

Textiles is a vibrant and growing global industry, with a consistent demand for top-quality graduates. The continuing technical advancement of textile products results from the wide-ranging, innovative skills of textile scientists. Recent textile innovations include: high-performance sports equipment, clothing with micro-climate control, medical textiles, nano-fibres, flexible, multi-purpose body armour, and composite materials for aircraft, cars and civil engineering. In a sense we are creating "the fabric of life".

The Science and Technology programme is designed to provide a high-calibre, multi-disciplinary platform from which graduates may follow career paths into technical research and product development. To support these activities, the department offers an unrivalled diversity of commercial manufacturing machinery and research equipment. Hence the next generation of textile technologists is provided with the creativity, skills and vision to create and engineer the textile products of the future.
What You Will Study
First Year Content

The first year provides the knowledge platform with lecture material based on fundamental subjects such as, the Nature of Materials, Fibre Properties, Yarn Production, and the Manufacture of Knitted and Woven Fabrics. Additional lectures in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Computation further complement the scientific and analytical programme. To effectively develop the skills of the technologist, laboratory sessions are integrated into studies alongside lectures and seminars. The study programme also incorporates an Introduction to Textile Management, Accounting Techniques and the Business Economics behind Textile and Clothing Operations to ensure a fundamental understanding of the business and markets.
Second Year Content

Having established the foundations of the technology programme students expand their knowledge into Polymer Technology, Colour Science and Production Technologies. In addition in response to the increasingly diverse needs of industry, subjects such as ‘Smart’ Materials, Electrotechnics and Biotechnology are also incorporated into the learning programme reflecting the ongoing evolution of textiles and technology.
Final Year Content

In the final year students are taken to the leading edge of textile science and technology and its possibilities as a "fabric of life" material. In addition to studying advanced concepts in Computerised Fabric Design, the Environmental Impact of Textiles, Textile Finishing, Nonwovens Technology, Mechatronics and Production Management, the impact and application of Composite Materials, Biomaterials and Polymer Technology are also explored.

During the Final Year students undertake an extended project which continues throughout the academic year and is designed to enhance their research and analytical abilities, and develop their personal skills. Recent projects have included such diverse areas as ink-jet printing, the recycling of textile fibres, the computerisation of pressing, ethical textile management, computerised clothing design for the disabled and novel dye chemistry. Such work can further evolve into major research projects, with final year students having the opportunity to continue into specialised postgraduate research.
Career Opportunities

Our Textile Technology graduates are eagerly sought after by employers, with graduates entering into research and production in the textile, chemical, engineering and clothing industries. Companies which have recently employed our graduates include such international organisations as Ciba Geigy , Coats Viyella, DERA and Marks and Spencer . As the textile industry responds to the global need for fibrous-based materials to answer the need for performance and innovation, the textile technologist will increasingly be found developing their careers well outside the traditional textile sector.
