Overview

The content of the cross-field study programme integrates knowledge of fashion product design, development and production innovations. You will deepen your skills and knowledge of virtual design technology, innovative materials and advanced production for circular design and sustainable development of the fashion products and brands.
You will be able to choose subjects in materials or marketing innovations and to dive into the most relevant topics and skills required for future career path in the fashion or related industries.
The programme emphasises the latest technological and scientific research that pushes the boundaries of the fashion product innovations. After studies you will be able to inspire and lead teams of product development in a constantly changing environment of the fashion industry around the globe.


The programme equips you with competencies in:

- mastering the technologies of virtual fitting try-on of clothes and creating virtual clothing collections.
- solving interdisciplinary problems of development in-demand fashion products and brands of the future by creatively applying modern design, visualization, and sustainable production technologies.
- scientific research methods and methodologies of design, technology, and marketing.


Top reasons to study at KTU:

1. Studies will only take you 1.5 years to complete. Studies are usually conducted in the evenings, so coordinating work and studies hasn’t been easier. This makes your life more manageable.
2. You can gain experience from multidisciplinary team of lectures which is immersed in the latest technologies of virtual fitting, 3D scanning and 3D printing, wearable electronics, sustainable design and production.
3. You will have the opportunity to explore and develop a fashion product you choose yourself through a series of project-based tasks and final master thesis.
4. Theory accompanied by practice in friendly and collaborative environment in the classes and labs, studies focused on tasks with strong emphasis on problem-solving and critical technological thinking.

“I became interested in technological sciences because of the interdisciplinary competences required in this field of science, which are necessary for solving various engineering problems. While studying the Fashion Engineering bachelor’s degree program, the design-oriented modules were integrated with the engineering modules, thus not only developing creative abilities, but also teaching how to technically implement a designed clothing product. During my undergraduate studies, I became interested in research focused on improving the properties of textile materials.
In the profession of a scientist-researcher, technical knowledge is one of the most important criteria for solving current scientific problems. Therefore, when choosing a master’s degree, I wanted the studies to expand the available technical knowledge. The technological knowledge deepened and newly acquired during the Master’s studies was successfully applied while studying the third-cycle Materials Engineering study program.
In the current professional path, the competences acquired in the years of bachelor’s and master’s studies help to analyze the results of scientific research and predict the properties of newly designed textile materials.” – PhD student, Julija Krauledaitė
