Overview
The laboratories at the Swedish School of Textiles, a part of the University of Boras , are well-equipped and staffed by highly skilled people with extensive experience in textile production. Here, the students work as independently as possible, and during the first semester of the programme optional introductory courses are given on how to handle the equipment.
Students apply to this Fashion and Textile Design (Specialisation in Textile Design) from the Swedish School of Textiles at the University of Borås by submitting an individual project, and then they work on developing that same project during the entire programme. The education places great emphasis on artistic work, and teachers as well as supervisors and technicians encourage experimental, investigating work that pushes the boundaries of the textile field.
Career opportunities
The Master’s Programme in Textile and Fashion Design has two specialisations: Textile design and Fashion design.
Specialisation in Textil Design: After graduation, many of the students move on to being employed at large or small-scale textile companies in Sweden or abroad, while others set up their own freelance business or continue studying for a PhD.
The completed education (120 HE credits) leads to a Master of Fine Arts in Fashion and Textile Design with specialisation in Textile Design.
