MSc in Sustainable Textiles at Hof University of Applied Sciences

Hof University of Applied Sciences 3 Semesters
Germany Full Time
Master's Onsite

Sustainability in the textile chemistry industry – what is that all about? It is about social responsibility. It is about environmental protection, renewable materials and the optimization of the whole production process. This is exactly where this innovative, English-taught Master’s program comes in. During your studies, you will acquire those skills needed to create (more) sustainable processes in textile chemistry. You develop solutions for ethical chemical alternatives (e.g., ecological coloring) and more effective production methods and conduct research on new finishing processes.

The conditions on our Münchberg campus are ideal. In addition to our Institute for Material Sciences (ifm), we recently opened our brand-new technical center for textile research. Complemented by our local Fraunhofer-Application Center for Textile Fiber Ceramics, Hof University is excellently equipped for applied research.
