Do you dream of sustainable streetwear, clothes going viral on TikTok, or smart fabrics that respond to light? Are you creative, curious, and passionate about fashion & textiles, sustainability, and technology? Then the Fashion & Textile Technologies programme might be exactly what you're looking for! At Fashion & Textile Technologies, you'll learn how to bring your ideas to life. From eco-design to circular fashion and textile innovation – you’ll make real impact. Explore the entire chain – from raw materials to the retail shop – and help shape the fashion of tomorrow. Let’s go!
Creativity and innovation
You don’t just use your creativity to design and create cool new products or collections, but also to come up with smart solutions for the challenges facing the fashion and textile world. Think of more sustainable production methods or reducing waste.
Technology as a foundation
Textile is all about technology – and it goes far beyond just clothing! You'll learn how textile materials are created, from raw fibre to finished fabric, and all the possibilities they offer.
Commerce and fair growth
Textile production happens all around the world, often in developing countries. We dive into the supply chain and investigate where products come from. We also calculate labour costs and evaluate choices for production countries. With this knowledge, you'll be able to choose solutions that ensure fair wages and ethical working conditions.
Tools and skills
During the programme, you’ll work with creative tools like Adobe, virtual prototyping, and trend forecasting. You’ll also develop technical skills such as knitting, weaving, and using our textile lab. You'll learn how to design, develop and sell, while critically reflecting on your choices – and learn how to explain those choices convincingly.
