The Bachelor's degree programme in Textile and Clothing Management offers a very versatile curriculum over seven semesters.
The range of subjects includes the technical area of textiles as well as the equally important field of business administration and management. Designed and taught by internationally renowned professors as well as high-profile scientific staff, this degree programme guarantees a profound academic education focussed on the demands of industrial branches and international business.
Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Communications and Information Technology as well as Textile and Clothing Technology represent the programme's technical foundation. Students will cover the entire textile chain within their studies, including corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability.
Management, business administration, law and accounting as well as other subjects including design and intercultural management complete the programme.
Practical training is an important part of this degree – you can choose to work in different labs that all form part of the textile chain: spinning, weaving, knitting, sewing, stitching, textile materials, textile production, finishing, digital printing of textiles, CAD construction of garments and quality testing.
As a cultural bonus, language courses are offered by HSNR's language centre on campus.
A study work in the fourth semester as well as two projects are obligatory. This also applies to an internship or a study semester abroad in the sixth semester for about 20 weeks.
