Welcome to the Textile Management master’s programme at the Swedish School of Textiles

Congratulations! You have passed the review process, and we are happy to welcome you to join us here on campus at the Swedish School of Textiles. Regardless of whether you are accepted to the one-year programme or one of the two-year programmes, we hope that you will find your studies here with us not only educational but also a point of departure for your future career.

The Semester officially starts with the ENTER event on Monday, the 2^nd of September, an event organized by the university and the student union to welcome all new students (more information will be available on the university webpage). On Tuesday, the 3rd September, at 9 am, in Vestindien C, you are welcome to an official ceremony for the master’s students at the Swedish School of Textiles (Textile Technology, Textile Management, and Design). The ceremony will start with an official speech from the Vice Dean of Faculty, an introduction from your program managers, and interesting presentations to spark your interest. At the end of the day, you will meet up with the second-year students. So, plan for an all-day event to kick off that network.

Some practical information about the studies, such as information concerning registration and the schedule, is provided below. For information regarding the first courses and the literature list, you can check out the course syllabuses at the programme portal (links below). During the first ten-week period, most of the literature will be available digitally. The library also provides reading copies of all course literature, along with good study facilities where you can sit and study.

Textile Management (one-year)

Although the semester starts on the 2^nd of September, we hope that you will take the opportunity to join the orientation days the week before (see information below). 

We look forward to seeing you on campus.

Register and create a student account

You must register so as not to lose your place in the programme or courses to which you have been admitted.

You must be registered to participate in the educational programme and for results to be reported from exams, laboratory work, or other study achievements.

At the same time you register, you create your student account. With the student account, you get access to the systems you need for your studies, for example the learning platform. You will also get access to a student email account.

How to find your schedule

You can find your schedule, including locations, in the digital schedule tool KronoX. Please note that changes to the schedule can take place at short notice. Therefore, make a habit of checking the schedule in KronoX regularly.

The learning platform Canvas

On the New Student website, you can find a lot of good information, including about the learning platform, Canvas, which you get access to after you register and create your student account. It is on the learning platform that we post information about the courses and this is also where a lot of communication between teachers and students, as well as between students, takes place.
