Understanding the process of creating a textile product allows you to build something better. That's why this programme emphasizes material and product development. The industry is in dire need of sustainable and smarter solutions to improve its outputs and outcomes. These solutions can be driven by businesses, consumers, or governments. European legislation, for example, now requires the textile industry to make significant sustainability changes in production as well as procurement. Since this is a global effort with English as its working language, you will conduct your second year projects in English at CEFR B2 or C1 level. 

Textile production takes place all over the world, with a significant portion in developing countries where workers often face exploitation and low wages. We thoroughly cover the supply chain to uncover the true origins of products. We calculate labor costs and assess the selection of production countries. The insights you gain here can help challenge the status quo and promote solutions that encourage fair wages for fair work. This commitment is central to our mission, so every subject in the Fashion & Textile Technology programme focuses on both sustainable and fair production and consumption.

In our programme, you will delve into the workings of the textile industry, including the organization of supply chains. With this knowledge, you'll be able to go a step further and develop innovative solutions and ideas to transform the industry. This might involve creating sustainable production methods or offering eco-friendly products. In all subjects, the needs of the sustainable consumer are always at the forefront.
