The textile and clothing sector is making progress towards a circular economy. The Master's Degree Programme in Fashion and Clothing increases the student's comprehensive understanding of the challenges of the textile and clothing value chains, the pressures for change and the innovations and networks that support the circular economy. The studies increase the student's sustainability and circular economy skills, and offer the ability to work in various expert, development and management positions internationally. After completing the degree, the student is able to anticipate, develop and manage processes and projects in their field and create a new kind of operating culture in the textile and clothing industry.
