With over 2,000 students, the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology is the largest of its kind in Europe. Since 1971, it has stood for practical teaching, applied research and close co-operation with companies in the textile and clothing industry - regionally, nationally and internationally.
There are numerous co-operation opportunities for companies: They can suggest topics for theses and dissertations, support project work in the 5th semester, supervise dual students in the KIA model or implement research and development projects together with the department. Internship and job offers can also be easily placed - ideal for recruiting young talent at an early stage.
With modern laboratories and pilot plants, the department also offers the opportunity to work directly on practical issues. This is supported by the Research Institute for Textiles and Clothing (FTB), the eWeb Research Center and the Fraunhofer Center for Textile Logistics - with a current focus on technology, digitalisation and sustainability.
The university's Public Testing Centre (ÖP) is a unique, accredited textile testing institute in Europe and a partner for testing PPE, medical textiles and hygiene-related products. The programme is complemented by further training courses and seminars at the Textile and Fashion Institute (TFI), which is supported by the Textile and Fashion Network e.V.
Whether for practice, research or further training - we look forward to exchanging ideas with you.
