The facilities in the fashion and textiles workshops, housed within the School of Art and Design, attract some of the most promising clothing designers and makers to Middlesex University to study their craft. The workshops are equipped with industrial sewing machines and overlockers, state-of-the-art press and heat press equipment and a number of specialist machines for working with different fabrics using a range of techniques.
Fashion at Middlesex enjoys an international reputation for creative excellence. The programmes have strong fashion industry links and stage catwalk shows and events throughout the academic year culminating in the degree show in the centre of London. Their teaching staff are all active practitioners in the Fashion industry and cutting-edge design houses.

Tuition and Scholarship Information
Most UK/EU undergraduate students can get loans to cover their fees and, depending on your family's income, you might be entitled to more help from the government in the form of loans or grants. International students may also be able to access financial support from their government. The school recognises that this help is not enough for some students and we do not want anyone to be discouraged from studying with us because of their financial situation, click here to find out more about the options available.
