This Master’s programme consists of a unique combination of resource recovery and supply chain management, where we also take advantage of the growing opportunities available in AI. Resource recovery sees value in resources that are often otherwise seen as waste. A central component in creating resources from waste are efficient systems that can recover and transform waste into something of value. To enable this, as well as to reduce further waste generation, the management of supply chains is central. These subjects are closely connected but often treated separately in different academic courses.

The International Master of Science in Textile Engineering is a 2-year master programme educating the next generation of textile engineers. The first semester you will study at Ghent University in Belgium, the second semester at the Polytechnical University of Valencia in Spain (for the academic year 2022-2023), the third semester you can choose between the University of Borås in Sweden or the Kyoto Institute of Technology in Japan. During the fourth semester, you do a thesis at one of the partner universities. So you will study in Europe (and Japan). The professors teaching you come from all over the world.

The building sector has a major impact on the climate and our environment. In this Master’s programme, you will learn about how to create resource and energy-efficient buildings with good indoor environments. You will also immerse yourself in sustainable concrete and wooden constructions.

The master’s programme in information science: digital environments offers both a theoretical and a practical approach to information, providing a unique, holistic approach to information in digital environments. This programme is suitable for students with a Bachelor’s degree in library and information science, information studies, information architecture, archival science, digital humanities, media studies, informatics, systems science or related fields.

This programme will give you an overview of the fundamentals of textiles and fashion to build upon your existing degree in topics like business administration, industrial economy, textile engineering, textile design, and fashion design. This will provide interdisciplinary and multicultural perspectives on the challenges related to working towards sustainable textiles and fashion. The main emphasis on sustainability is also an important area of research throughout the Swedish School of Textiles.

Polymer materials, including plastics and textiles, play a crucial role in our everyday lives. Therefore, the development of sustainable recycling methods and the creation of new polymer materials with minimal climate and environmental footprints are of utmost significance. If you aspire to explore this subject deeper and contribute to its progress, our Master's programme is designed specifically for you.

Our programme in Textile Design can take you further than you imagined. The Swedish School of Textiles, specialising in textile design, provides a forward-looking environment for rethinking and creating textiles within its expanded field, including Textile Craft, New Materiality, Innovation, and Digital Specialisms. It delves deep into the most relevant subjects and skills required for a career in the textile industry and related industries.

Clothes and body-related artefacts can be active, responsive, protective, or supportive in human actions and activities. In this way, clothes can play a central role in various types of body-based activities, human performances, and interactions with the environment. Specialising in Performance Wear at the Swedish School of Textiles involves exploring and developing apparel that can perform – act and interact – in relation to various human activities and performances in outdoor, sports, work, or artistic contexts, considering a wide range of perspectives, including environmental, ethical, technical, and cultural factors.

Specialising in Textile Interaction Design involves exploring and developing textiles that interact with and adapt to their surroundings as well as to bodies, actions, humans, and other species. This specialisation delves into questions and issues related to textile interaction from a wide range of perspectives, including environmental, ethical, technical, and cultural considerations.

How can we produce enough nutritious food, animal feed, materials, and energy in a sustainable manner? How can biotechnology assist in fostering a sustainable society, and a circular economy, while creating job and business opportunities? This Master's programme offers the chance to become a global community builder in roles such as researcher, engineer, or manager.

Today, humans produce vast amounts of waste and other residual material; at the same time, the demand for products and energy is steadily increasing. This increase also applies to needs for nutrients and minerals that then often end up in landfills or the ocean. This Master’s programme is for those who want to be a part of the important technological leap forwards towards a circular economy and a more sustainable energy system, either as a researcher, an engineer, or within management.

At the Swedish School of Textiles, fashion design is understood in its broadest sense as an activity that explores, expresses, and shapes individuals, communities, bodies, and human-cultural interactions. In the Master's programme specialising in Fashion Design, questions and issues related to expressions centered around the human body are explored and developed from a wide range of perspectives, including environmental, technical, economic, and political considerations, all within a cultural context.

This programme provides you with relevant analytical skills and innovative tools for supply chain management to deal with complex issues caused by an unsustainable fashion and textile industry. You will gain advanced knowledge of textile value chain processes and specialise in the management of different parts of the supply chain. In this way, you will learn how to design and manage systems to work towards more sustainable fashion and textiles. The main emphasis on sustainability is also an important area of research throughout the Swedish School of Textiles.

This programme will provide academic tools to understand the symbolic nature of fashion and textiles as multidisciplinary and multifaceted phenomena, with a special focus on sustainability. Fashion is one of the most complex and fascinating areas of both research and social life, which encompasses trends and the fashion cycle, the fashion system, as well as perspectives on branding, consumer behaviour and consumption. These issues increasingly require considering the economic, social, and environmental impacts of the sector globally, which are also important areas of research throughout the Swedish School of Textiles.
