Bachelor's degree of 180 ECTS in social sciences, business administration, industrial economy, or technology. English 6, approved motivation letter and approved personal interview.

Swedish School of Textiles has a long tradition of bringing talented individuals from all corners of the world together to actively engage in forming a better future. We firmly believe that sustainability is an integrated challenge that requires a broad set of competencies and strong collaboration between design, engineering, and management, academically and professionally. Within the master’s programme in textile management, we aim to create an environment that may nourish and support the development of competencies for addressing this challenge.

In order to create this environment, we have opened the admissions process to accept students with formal academic degrees outside the field of textiles and fashion. With this breadth of backgrounds, the crucial requirement for being accepted into these programmes is to demonstrate analytical reasoning related to key topics around sustainability issues in textiles and fashion. For this reason, applicants must provide some additional information with their formal application, which allows for evaluation of this ability in the presentation and communication of relevant experiences, knowledge, interests, and aspirations (in terms of educational backgrounds, work and life experiences, etc.).

Step 1 (formal application) and step 2 (reflections and resumé) of the selection process share the same deadline, whereas step 3 (interviews) will be scheduled if reflections are approved.

This programme will not accept any late applications.
Make sure to prepare well in advance for the alternative selection process by reading the information below. Note that this programme will be held in English, and for this reason, the reflection letters must be in English. For the same reason, in the event of discrepancies, the English instructions are the ones that will be formally adhered to.
