The german-languaged study course Textile and Clothing Technology includes textile and clothing technology as two fields of study. After an identical basic study, students have the opportunity to determine their own specializations within these tracks.

The Bachelor's programme is organized in a practical manner and provides important basic knowledge and skills in the fields of natural sciences and economics within the first semesters. Graduates of this study course are able to control and monitor processes of the textile chain.

With a completed degree in Textile and Clothing Technology, exciting perspectives in numerous fields of activity in the textile and clothing industry open up for you.

Both fields of study can also be completed in cooperation with a company.

Double degree

In regards to the Bachelor's degree course, it is possible to obtain the exclusive German-Chinese double degree in "International Textile and Clothing Management" in cooperation with the Tiangong University, PRC China.

The german-languaged dual study combines practice and theoretical knowledge in a unique way. In parallel to the undergraduate studies, the students are going through a training course in an industrial company, especially designed to complement the studies. In addition to financial independence, this ensures a high practical relevance. The mutual influence of practical contents from in-company training on the one hand and the theoretically and scientifically oriented study on the other hand allows for both an unmatched practical orientation and a broad, practicable basic knowledge. The dual study course is an ideal preparation for the demands on an engineer in the professional world. This combination of professional training and study is appreciated and respected worldwide.

Imparting the same study contents, the first two study semesters are completed part-time (two days a week) in parallel to the training in the company and are, therefore, distributed over a total of four semesters. The remaining study period is completed in full-time study.

The german-languaged degree programme leading to a Design Engineering degree encompasses the two core study areas of textiles and fashion. In particular, this degree programme aims to combine design and technology in equal parts. This combination provides the graduates with a broad basic knowledge, which is the ideal preparation for meeting the requirements of an innovative and global textile and clothing industry.

The term Design is defined as conscious shaping or arrangement. The engineering part of the study is constituted by training in the construction of industrially, technically manufactured products. In order for a product to successfully enter the market, a multidisciplinary knowledge is needed during the development process. Design engineers therefore combine construction and design competence.

In order to gain admission to this course a prior aptitude test must be passed.
