Hello and welcome to Textile Engineering!

I’d like to give you the warmest welcome to our Master’s Programme in Textile Engineering at the University of Borås, a unique educational environment in Scandinavia for textiles.

There will be kick-off activities on 2 September for new students. We strongly recommend that you participate in those to get to know the city, the university, your fellow master students both from Textile Engineering and sister program Technical Textile Innovation. Here comes some preliminary information. Feel free to use translation tools if you don’t get the Swedish.

During the first half of the fall semester, Polymer Technology and Advanced fibre and yarn technology run in parallel. They will have some shared activities. You may also want to have a look at the course schedule provided in the mail.

Our lectures/seminars in the Polymer Technology course are based on "Polymers: Chemistry and physics of modern materials", 3rd edition, by Cowie & Arrighi, CRC Press, ISBN 13: 978-0-8493-9813-1. It is possible to get access to the book via university’s library. If you feel that your knowledge and skills on the matter needs freshening up please spend some time with the book during summer. You may also want to have a look at this self-study module on polymers:

I hope to see you soon.

Program Coordinator of  Master Programme in Textile Engineering
