The Research and Education Board has delegated the majority of its operational decisions for doctoral education to the Research Education Committees.

The area "Textiles and Fashion" consists partly of a scientific sub-field and partly of an artistic sub-field. The artistic sub-area falls under the board of Artistic Research and Education Board while the scientific sub-area falls under the Research and Education Board. 

Each committee must consist of at least three members, at least at the level of Docent/Associate Professor, together with two student representatives. For each area, a Director of Studies for the doctoral education programme must be appointed. The Director of Studies and Dean of Faculty are parts of the committee.
