The motivation letter should be a maximum of 1 page (approximately 400–500 words) and uploaded as a supplement on antagning.se. It should be well-structured and clearly formulated, focusing on relevant experiences and motivation. To ensure a dynamic and knowledge-balanced study group for lab work, the motivation letter attached to the application should meet the following criteria:

1. Motivation and Interest in the Course

Describe why you want to participate in the course and how it relates to your previous studies, professional experiences, or future goals.
Explain what specific knowledge you hope to gain through the course.

2. Relevant Background and Experience

Provide details of previous education or practical experience in textile technology or related fields.
If your background differs from the traditional textile technology education path, describe how your experiences still make you suitable for the course.

3. Expected Study Effort and Commitment

Describe how you plan to master the course content and how you intend to manage both theoretical and practical elements.
Give examples of previous studies or work experiences where you have demonstrated the ability to work independently and take responsibility for your learning.

4. Contribution to a Dynamic Study Group

In the course, you may collaborate with master's level programme students. Reflect on how your background, perspectives, or skills can contribute to a diverse and stimulating learning environment.
If you have experience in interdisciplinary or international collaboration, highlight this and how it can enrich the group's collective learning.

The course is taken together with program students.

A hybrid course with flexibility and practical application

This hybrid course allows you, along with master's students, to participate in theoretical instruction through digital lectures either remotely or on campus, while also providing an exclusive opportunity to conduct laboratory work in the unique lab environment of the Swedish School of Textiles. Here, you will gain both theoretical and practical experience in conventional and resource-efficient dyeing and finishing techniques (such as digital printing, spray technology, and supercritical carbon dioxide technology), providing a comprehensive understanding of how the various stages of textile production interact throughout the manufacturing chain up to the finished fabric for garment making. Laboratory sessions are conducted over 4 consecutive days when you need to be on campus (specific week to be announced).

Build on your knowledge and explore future textile innovations

This course is aimed at those with a background in textile technology who wish to deepen their understanding of the chemical and physical mechanisms governing the dyeing and finishing of textile materials. You will develop skills in comparing conventional and more resource-efficient processes and understand their application for different production volumes. The course also emphasizes the importance of these processes and their role in the circular economy, which is crucial for transitioning to a more resource-efficient society.

Who can apply?

Prerequisites: A bachelor's degree in textile technology or 30 credits in undergraduate courses in textile technology (G1N), including at least 3 credits in dyeing and finishing.

Application and motivation letter

To apply for the course, in addition to meeting the prerequisites, you must also submit a motivation letter describing your interest in the subject and how the course relates to your future goals.

Take the step towards a more sustainable textile industry

With this course, you will gain both theoretical and practical knowledge that will equip you to contribute to a more sustainable and flexible textile production.
