Textile and clothing engineering

The basic goal of the professional bachelor study programme Textile and Clothing Engineering is to train experts capable of managing the most technologically demanding processes in the textile and clothing industry, to train them in planning complex products and technological processes, and at the same time provide appropriate basic natural science and professional knowledge for further education at the second level.

General competences include ability to transfer theoretical knowledge into practice and use it to solve problems; ability to experiment and visually transfer various concepts of thinking; developed capacity for independent learning in a specific professional area; initiative and independence in decision making and management of the most demanding work; ability to communicate with colleagues and experts in related disciplines; developed professional, ethical and environmental responsibility; and ability to use modern tools, skills and dexterity in daily professional and scientific research work.

Subject-specific competences comprise in-depth knowledge of natural sciences; understanding the interdisciplinary development of modern fibre forming polymers by combining different scientific disciplines: chemistry, bio (techno)logy, nanotechnology and information technology; capacity to link the effects of various raw materials and technological factors to the structure and properties of yarns, woven and knitted fabrics, nonwovens and knitwear; capacity of optimising technological processes of clothing production; knowledge of the theoretical basics of finishing; capacity of planning pre-finishing, dyeing, printing and finishing processes with consideration for environmental requirements; capacity of supervision, analysis and management of the production process; and ability to understand modern concepts of quality management systems and their importance in the context of global competition.
