The module Textiles 1 consists of two modules:

Textile and colour chemistry
Textile technology
Each module is worth 1.5 ECTS, meaning together they are worth 3 ECTS.

Textile and colour chemistry: The aim of this module is for students to learn about textile and colour chemistry, and to use this knowledge to analyse complex subjects on textile production and maintenance.
Textile Technology: The aim of this module is for students to acquire theoretical knowledge about textile technologies and to be able to apply this knowledge. The student understands the interaction between consecutive process steps in the supply chain, and is able to provide advice in terms of technology choices.
