Master Programme (Two Year) in Technical Textile Innovation

Master's Programme (Two Year) in Technical Textile Innovation

The essence of the programme is to develop the ability to analyze future conditions and to transform contemporary products for future needs in a global perspective. With profound textile technological understanding the students explore the technological opportunities in transdisciplinar contexts while considering social, ecological and economical aspects of sustainable development. These considerations are driving forces for the department's and sister department's research. During the programme's second year the connection between these students and current departmental research is particularly pronounced.
