Retail Education with Specialization in Textile and Fashion 120 ECTS

This retail programme is for anyone with a genuine interest in fashion and textiles, but also in sales and goods display. Once you have completed this programme, you can expect to be an attractive employee in the industry as there is a massive need for qualified store managers specializing in textiles and fashion.

We know this, because the programme has been devised in consultation with the industry in order to enhance the status and knowledge of people working with managerial functions at textile and fashion stores. Quite simply, we are training the store managers of the future for the major textile and fashion chains. But this programme is also aimed at people who want to be responsible for small boutiques, with everything that entails, or who dream of starting up their own outlets. 

This is a profession-oriented store manager programme with major emphasis on textiles and fashion, and so the scope of this programme offers major opportunities for an ongoing career in the various areas of the retail trade.

A basic textile block forms the foundation for this programme. At the Swedish School of Textiles, you will have access to our advanced machinery. Practical elements are interwoven with theory all the time. You will complete courses on corporate economics which include subjects such as sales technique, display and marketing. You will learn how to manage a company and understand the textile value chain, purchasing and logistics procedures and consumer behavior. Ethics and the environment are also important elements into which you will gain an insight.
