They can work in areas such as product development, quality management, purchasing, production management and in innovative fields such as smart textiles and artificial intelligence.

Linda Colonna, M.Sc. | Graduate

"The combination of theoretical and practical emphasis / orientation in the Textile and Clothing Technology degree program gives me an early insight into my future career. Since completing my Master's degree, I have already gained a lot of experience in various professions and am currently working as a product manager in a laminating company. Accompanying production trials is a part of my job that I particularly enjoy, alongside the technical development and sales of our products.

So if you would like to work in a varied and, above all, practical job later on, then the Textile and Clothing Technology degree programme is just the right place to start."
