Basic goals and competences

The basic goal of the post-graduate programme Textile and Clothing Planning is to expand the knowledge of graduates in the university programme from the field of textiles and clothing, to train students in finding new sources of knowledge through scientific research methods and to manage the most complex working systems. The programme is intended to stimulate the development of critical reflection and communication capacity for teamwork management. A programme characteristic is that it aggregates students in project-oriented work and engages them in applied and basic research tasks, preparing them for further education at the third, doctoral level. In accordance with the principles of the Bologna process, the programme, in comparison with the current programmes, implies a deviation from the educational philosophy of proper integration of various technologies grounded on selected natural science contents. Educational philosophy has been adopted where in addition to the acquired knowledge other student competencies are equally important as well, including their skills and dexterity, in this case by promoting a research approach to rapidly developing technologies in the area of primary textile and clothing activities.
