Faculty of Textile

Faculty Home

Welcome to the Faculty of TEXTILE – the home for aspiring Designers, Engineers, Industry Experts, Ergonomics, and environmental scientists. They can be surface designers, knitters, weavers, or embroiderers. Most utilize computer-aided design (CAD) software focus areas: apparel, furnishings, costume, textile arts, and non-apparel.

In the Faculty of Textile, we offer you the kind of programmes and courses that will lead you to a variety of career options to follow after your studies. Our world-class academic staff with insight and expertise based on cutting-edge research will quench your thirst for knowledge and help you achieve the profession of your dreams. A warm and caring relationship between our staff and students in the Faculty fosters a healthy environment for students to learn, develop and grow. Likewise, the Faculty provides a supportive work environment to encourage and enable its staff to further their teaching and research interests.

The faculty, through its four academic departments and one unit, provides high quality programmes and course offerings that not only prepare you for today’s world and its challenges, but are also designed for the holistic development of students who are articulate and critical, imaginative and productive, rooted in their own culture, yet open to other cultures, proactive, global in outlook.

Faculty Organization

The Faculty is headed by the Dean who is responsible for the effective running of the Faculty, including, ultimately, each Department. He is supported by the Heads of departments, who together with the Dean form the core administrative body of the Faculty and who take turns to oversee the administration of the Faculty if the Dean is absent or indisposed.

It is unlikely that students, normally, will have much to do with the Dean in their capacities – but they will be following students’ progress with much interest. They assist students in their academic career such as choice of courses, processing of results, registration, and student transfers from one Faculty to another. There is also a Postgraduate Coordinator who assists students on similar issues at the postgraduate level.

There is also the Faculty Assistant Registrar (AR) whose principal job is to see that the Faculty business runs smoothly.  The AR is also responsible for the administration of the Faculty and works together with the secretaries.
