Магистерская программа (Два Года) по Технологии и Инженерии Текстиля

The starting point of this program is textile fibers: what do they consist of? What significance do they have, and what could be done with them? This educational programme links together and specializes in different elements that develop both theoretical and practical knowledge. It is a modern program that includes recurring elements such as digitization, recyclability, and a sustainability perspective

This educational program is the only one of its kind in Scandinavia and one of few in Europe. 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. To make the most of the program, you need good skills in mathematics, textile manufacturing methods, textile material technology, and textile chemistry. During the educational program, you will develop your knowledge, skills, and assessment in textile technology.

Well-equipped laboratories

The Swedish School of Textiles has well-equipped laboratories, both industrial-scale and small-scale research labs. The latter facilitates exploratory proof-of-concept studies before moving to a larger scale. The staff's competence is unique and provides a strong research basis for education.

Sustainable development

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 program emphasizes polymers, fibers, yarns, and fabrics, as well as process thinking and advanced functionalization 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 program contributes to digitalization, circular processes, and sustainable development, which are also decisive driving forces for the Faculty's research.

In the heartland of Swedish textile innovation and industry, in the Viskan Valley, a short drive from Sweden's second-largest city lies our university and the city of Borås.

At the University of Borås, we cultivate learning, knowledge, and innovation of high quality in an international setting and with significant social relevance. Our focus is on working together for the future – to make a difference.

Here, you can choose among many different Bachelor’s and Master’s programs relevant to your future career. We offer unique programs in many subject areas, several of which can only be found here and which attract students from all over the world.

At the University of Borås, collaboration around sustainable development in our educational programs is important. You as a student are stimulated to think critically in your education and are given a sound basis for working for – and in – a sustainable society.
