Textile Engineering University of Boras

Overview

Textile Engineering is offered by University of Boras. It has a strong focus on research and development, providing a deep understanding of technology and chemistry, i.e., how to truly make it work. It is designed for students with a Bachelor’s degree in the engineering field who are motivated to work and explore in a laboratory or manufacturing environment. 

Key Facts

To make the most of the programme, you need good skills in mathematics, textile manufacturing methods, textile material technology, and textile chemistry. During the educational programme, you will develop your knowledge, skills, and assessment in textile technology. The Swedish School of Textiles has well-equipped laboratories, both industrial-scale and small-scale research labs. The latter facilitate exploratory proof-of-concept studies before moving to a larger scale. The staff's competence is unique and provides a strong research basis for the education. The essence of textile engineering is to maintain textiles' tactile feel even as they obtain new abilities and interactivity through different technical processes. This is why the programme emphasises polymers, fibres, yarns, and fabrics, as well as process thinking and advanced functionalisation of textiles at the beginning. During the second year, its research foundation becomes particularly pronounced. The students will work with state-of-the-art machinery and instruments and practice their scientific writing and communication skills. To address the challenges of the textile world today and in the future, the programme contributes to digitalisation, circular processes, and sustainable development, which are also decisive driving forces for the Faculty's research.
