Students can specialize in wovenwear design, print design, knitwear and product design, clothing design and accessory design (leather).

We focus on training designers, who, based on their in-depth knowledge and creativity are fully capable of implementing design projects in their special field and considering economic and technological requirements as well. As designers they contribute both to the development of textile culture and to the preservation and redefinition of its heritage.

The first year provides students with basic knowledge.

In the 2nd and 3rd year, students pursue art, design and technical studies - involving technical and workshop exercises - giving them a strong professional background. Their education is enhanced by classes on textile history and theory.
