What you'll study

The programme's initial autumn term includes mandatory courses covering management, supply chains and sustainability. Course titles listed for Autumn 2026 are:

• Business and Management in the Textile and Fashion Industry (AE1BM1)
• Theoretical Foundations of Supply Chain Management and Fashion Management (AE2SC1)
• Sustainability‑oriented Business Models in Textile and Apparel (A2HA1D)

Each course has an individual syllabus and literature list; students are advised to check Canvas or the first lecture before purchasing texts.

Entry requirements

Admission follows a three‑step process. Step 1 is the formal application through the national or international portals (universityadmissions.se / antagning.se). Step 2 requires two-part motivation letters and an English resumé submitted via the School of Textiles form (opened from November 1); these materials are anonymously assessed by a grading committee. Step 3 is a digital interview (held in English) for candidates shortlisted from the written assessment; interviews are scheduled during week 10–12. Late submissions are not accepted.

Career prospects

The programme prepares graduates for roles that intersect textile production, management and sustainability, such as positions in textile/fashion companies, supply‑chain functions, consultancy or research contexts focused on sustainable value chains. Exact career paths will depend on prior experience and elective choices taken later in the programme.

Scholarships & funding angle

The programme page does not list specific scholarships. Prospective students should explore university and national scholarship portals, external funding options and employer sponsorships early, and note application deadlines for both admission materials and any funding schemes.
