Welcome to the undergraduate programme in Fashion Design!

I warmly welcome you as a new student at the Swedish School of Textiles in Borås! Please read the information below about the upcoming term.
During the coming years, you will gain knowledge and skills about, among other things, textile production, practical and theoretical design methods, how to structure and define your own design process, how fashion reflects the society we live in, and how we communicate via clothing. You will work with both shorter and longer design projects, together with classmates and external partners or on your own, and both practically and theoretically explore your ideas and describe your work in written form. Our ambition is to give you an education with high standards and to give you the tools and conditions to meet these standards.

You have probably been informed that we invite you to the introduction days. It is not included in the programme but is given in connection with the start of the semester during calendar weeks 34 - 35 (starting on August 18th). I recommend that you join it. During those days, you will be trained in working with different types of more difficult pattern design solutions and detailed sewing, knowledge that will help you within the upcoming programme courses.

During the first week, various activities will be planned, both introductions and information meetings. Take the chance to participate in the introductory activities offered to get started with student life quickly. Times and places for the various introductory activities and the lessons/lectures you have can be found via the link to the schedule that is further down on this page. Since the schedule changes from time to time, it is good to check the schedule regularly.

On Tuesday, September 2nd, you will meet for an official introduction with the programme coordinator.  During that day, we will talk about the structure of the programme: the courses, the labs, and a little bit about what it is like to study fashion design with us. 

The meeting is in the schedule

You are more than welcome to contact me if you have any questions.
