Sustainable Textiles (MEng)

In the Sustainable Textiles programme, you will gain deeper knowledge about the challenges of the global textile industry today. The programme addresses the quality of renewable and petrochemical based materials, responsible production and environmental production, legal regulation and labour rights. It is about achieving transparency in the complex global value chain in order to create the future textile industry. During your studies, you will acquire the skills needed to create (more) sustainable processes in textile chemistry, optimise production processes and conduct research on innovative fibres and finishings. The conditions on our Münchberg campus are ideal. In addition to our Institute for Material Sciences (ifm), we recently opened our brand-new technical centre for textile research. Complemented by our local Fraunhofer Application Center for Textile Fiber Ceramics, Hof University is excellently equipped for applied research. In addition, Hof University is part of several textile-related networks. This is a unique opportunity for our students to establish business contacts with potential employees at an early stage, e.g. for internships and research topics for the Master‘s thesis. Study excursions to innovative textile tech companies and discussions with experts from research and industry form a vital part of the Master's programme.
