Master program of Fine Arts in Fashion and Textile Design | Master's degree | Art & Design | On Campus | 2 years | University of Borås | Sweden

Want to educate yourself in fashion and textile design? Are you looking for an education that encourages an experimental and exploratory approach? Then the Master’s Program in Fashion and Textile Design might be the education for you. In the school’s laboratories, you get the opportunity to test many of your design ideas. The laboratories at the Swedish School of Textiles 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 program optional introductory courses are given on how to handle the equipment. The first half of the last year is devoted to a degree project, and after that there are three choices for the rest of the school year: further develop the degree project, take a preparatory research course, or internship. Since the Borås region is a textile region, there are good opportunities to collaborations and internships at nearby companies, but many students seek out internships at companies and fashion houses around Europe. The entire program is based on research, and the students gain insights in current research in the field. Several of the lectures and workshops included in the program are held by researchers and doctoral students associated with the Swedish School of Textiles. Through their projects and analyses, the students learn to relate to current research and what may develop the field.
