Statement About Me.

I am really interested in this programme because I am passionate about this subject area and really enjoy doing it. I understand what is required to study this course, I have great enthusiasm for fashion and textiles and I am one hundred percent dedicated to the research and the work that is involved to do well. I do think I am very suitable for the course because I have a great interest in the fashion and textile industry and will work very hard to get where I want to go in the future. The facilities, space and the overall equipment available here is great, the range between the old to new modern technology makes me very enthusiastic to study this programme here. Also the aspects involved in this course interest me a lot and I think I could do well to succeed in this programme.

My future plans are after completing the course to go on to study Fashion and Textiles more to gain as much knowledge as possible to work in the industry, I would also like to have a placement being involved in the industry to get a taste of what to come and what to expect. I would make a good student as I am always punctual, focused and always work to the best of my ability, also I really enjoy Fashion and Textiles therefore I will put all my time and effort into this course
