Master in Mode Design und Technologie

The fashion world needs professionals who are capable of proposing innovative solutions in multidisciplinary environments that combine technology with art, design, and creativity.

With the fashion industry facing a decisive transition, the Master's degree in Fashion Design, Technology and Innovation proposes an approach to the sector based on sustainability, creativity, and experimentation.

Recognizing the necessity to radically  rethink fashion , this master's degree encourages students to develop imaginative  solutions to transform the current dynamics of the industry  and contribute to a new scenario that combines  environmental balance and social commitment  with the  economic viability  and the use of  cutting-edge technologies .

In line with BAU's academic and research approach, the master's degree establishes stimulating and unexpected relationships between fashion and disciplines such as crafts, audiovisuals, and biology, creating an enriching exchange of ideas, processes, materials, techniques, and possibilities.

The program is structured in five modules that thoroughly explore digital production processes and 3D pattern making; the potential of design research, digital printing and laser cutting; prototyping from interaction and smart fabrics; the application of biomaterials and the principles of the circular economy. Learning culminates in the final project, where students carry out all the phases of a  real project .

BAU's Master's Degree in Fashion Design, Technology and Innovation trains young professionals in the conviction and desire to transform the sector. All this under a key premise: from innovation, critical spirit, and creative freedom, each student designs their future to promote a more  humane industry  that cares for the  common good .
