Several companies provide us with interesting opportunities to work on current tasks from operational practice as topics for practical semesters, semester projects and final theses. This brings students into direct contact with the industry and the specialist areas of their particular interests at an early stage.
Wide range of cooperation opportunities
- Topics for semester and research projects
- Topics for final theses (Bachelor's/Master's thesis)
- Completing an internship semester
Our laboratories are equipped with industrial machinery and equipment from world market leaders. This provides students with the best conditions for learning about textile production along the entire textile process chain under practical conditions.
The contribution of companies active in the production of textiles, in the fashion sector and in the textile trade is also an important support for the faculty. Textile materials from the most diverse areas of application serve as illustrative material, as materials for textile creations in design degree programmes and as practical examples in textile material testing.
