This programme will give you an overview of the fundamentals of textiles and fashion to build upon your existing degree in topics like business administration, industrial economy, textile engineering, textile design, and fashion design. This will provide interdisciplinary and multicultural perspectives on the challenges related to working towards sustainable textiles and fashion. The main emphasis on sustainability is also an important area of research throughout the Swedish School of Textiles.

De International Master of Science in Textile Engineering is een 2-jarig masterprogramma dat de volgende generatie textielingenieurs opleidt.\nHet eerste semester studeer je aan de Universiteit Gent in België, het tweede semester aan de Polytechnische Universiteit van Valencia in Spanje (voor het academisch jaar 2022-2023), het derde semester kun je kiezen tussen de Universiteit van Borås in Zweden of het Kyoto Institute of Technology in Japan. In het vierde semester doe je een thesis aan een van de partneruniversiteiten. \nJe studeert dus in Europa (en Japan). \nDe docenten die je lesgeven komen van over de hele wereld.

Our programme in Textile Design can take you further than you imagined. The Swedish School of Textiles, specialising in textile design, provides a forward-looking environment for rethinking and creating textiles within its expanded field, including Textile Craft, New Materiality, Innovation, and Digital Specialisms. It delves deep into the most relevant subjects and skills required for a career in the textile industry and related industries.

Clothes and body-related artefacts can be active, responsive, protective, or supportive in human actions and activities. In this way, clothes can play a central role in various types of body-based activities, human performances, and interactions with the environment. Specialising in Performance Wear at the Swedish School of Textiles involves exploring and developing apparel that can perform – act and interact – in relation to various human activities and performances in outdoor, sports, work, or artistic contexts, considering a wide range of perspectives, including environmental, ethical, technical, and cultural factors.

Specialising in Textile Interaction Design involves exploring and developing textiles that interact with and adapt to their surroundings as well as to bodies, actions, humans, and other species. This specialisation delves into questions and issues related to textile interaction from a wide range of perspectives, including environmental, ethical, technical, and cultural considerations.

This programme provides you with relevant analytical skills and innovative tools for supply chain management to deal with complex issues caused by an unsustainable fashion and textile industry. You will gain advanced knowledge of textile value chain processes and specialise in the management of different parts of the supply chain. In this way, you will learn how to design and manage systems to work towards more sustainable fashion and textiles. The main emphasis on sustainability is also an important area of research throughout the Swedish School of Textiles.

This programme will provide academic tools to understand the symbolic nature of fashion and textiles as multidisciplinary and multifaceted phenomena, with a special focus on sustainability. Fashion is one of the most complex and fascinating areas of both research and social life, which encompasses trends and the fashion cycle, the fashion system, as well as perspectives on branding, consumer behaviour and consumption. These issues increasingly require considering the economic, social, and environmental impacts of the sector globally, which are also important areas of research throughout the Swedish School of Textiles.

The transition to a circular textile industry calls for students who have new ways of thinking about innovation and product development. This educational programme equips you with the tools to analyse future conditions and to transform contemporary products and processes for future needs in a global perspective. You acquire a profound textile technological understanding and get the chance to explore its potential in transdisciplinary contexts, with a specific emphasis on advancing textile innovation.

Het uitgangspunt van dit programma zijn textielvezels: waaruit bestaan ze? Welke betekenis hebben ze en wat kan er mee gedaan worden? Dit educatieve programma sluit op elkaar aan en is gespecialiseerd in verschillende elementen die zowel theoretische als praktische kennis ontwikkelen.
