Textile and Fashion Design (Specialisation in Textile Design) University of Boras

Overview

The laboratories at the Swedish School of Textiles, a part of the University of Boras, are well-equipped and staffed by highly skilled people with extensive experience in textile production. Here, the students work as independently as possible, and during the first semester of the programme optional introductory courses are given on how to handle the equipment.

Students apply to this Fashion and Textile Design (Specialisation in Textile Design) from the Swedish School of Textiles at the University of Boras by submitting an individual project, and then they work on developing that same project during the entire programme. The education places great emphasis on artistic work, and teachers as well as supervisors and technicians encourage experimental, investigating work that pushes the boundaries of the textile field.
