Art and design
Design is an important theme that applies across all of our disciplines at Heriot-Watt University. The School of Textiles and Design is based at our Scottish Borders Campus Galashiels.
Our research in textiles and design covers a wide range of disciplines, from textile science, engineering and technology, colour chemistry and physics, to clothing and design. Our specialism is in research at the design/technology interface where we develop technologies and exploit design applications in tandem. The School works closely with the textiles industry at home and abroad and is a founder member of the Scottish Academy of Fashion.
