Dear admitted applicants,

It is great to welcome you to our Master Programs in Textile Management, both one-year and two-years studies!

Based on recommendations of the Public Health Agency of Sweden the Vice-Chancellor has now made a formal decision that the university moves to level ‘lime’ (between ‘yellow’ and ‘green’) on 14 June. This means that all university operations are going to take place according to the main rule of "Distance when it works, campus when it’s needed." This means that, with adaptations and ranked priorities, certain activities can be conducted on campus. The university's decision applies until the end of the first study period in the autumn term of 2021; however, no later than 14 November. University operations at the University of Borås are to be prepared to return to level green during the autumn term, i.e. normal mode.

Following this recommendations, the teaching faculty at the Master Programs in Textile Management has made decision to carry out majority of  lectures and seminars digitally, whereas course examinations are expected to take place on-site.

The semester officially starts on Monday, 30 August. Information regarding organization of specific courses is to be published by course leaders on the educational platform Canvas 1-2 weeks before the start of semester. Access to Canvas is possible after registration of your studies at the University of Borås. Info and links regarding registration and instructions on how to access Canvas should be forwarded to you in August by university administration. In case you don’t receive this info and/or experience difficulties finding relevant information, please let us know.
