Welcome to the Bachelor’s programme in Fashion Design!

I would like to warmly welcome you as a new student at the Swedish School of Textiles in Borås! I’d also like to give you some information about the upcoming term.

During the coming years, you will gain knowledge and skills about, among other things, textile production, practical and theoretical design methods, how to design your own design process, how fashion reflects the society we live in, and how we communicate via clothing. You will work with both shorter and longer design projects, together with others or on your own, and both practically and theoretically explore your ideas and describe your work in text. Our ambition is to give you an education with high standards and to give you the tools and conditions to meet these standards. 

You have probably been informed that we give a Preparatory course. It is not included in the programme, but is given in connection with the start of the term during weeks 33 and 34 (16-29 August). I recommend that you take that course. In it, you will be trained in working with different types of more difficult pattern design solutions and detail sewing, things that are good to know before the upcoming programme courses.

During the first week, various activities will be planned, both introductions and information meetings. Take the chance to participate in the introductory activities offered to get started with student life quickly. Times and places for the various introductory activities and the lessons/lectures you have can be found via the link to the schedule that is further down on this page. Since the schedule changes from time to time, it is good to check the schedule regularly.

On Tuesday 31/8, we will meet for an introduction by the Programme Coordinator.  We will talk about the structure of the programme: the courses, the labs, and a little about what it is like to study fashion design with us. The meeting is in the schedule.

If you have any questions, you are of course welcome to contact me!
