Bachelor's in Engineering in Europe

This bachelor's program trains students to create sustainable and innovative fashion, combining digital design technologies, advanced textiles, and functional clothing design within a single course of study. It is built around the integration of design, engineering, and technology, preparing graduates to organize production, develop new fashion standards, and build a business within the fashion industry.

The first year introduces foundational skills, combining introductory coursework in fashion engineering with information technology, mathematics, and physics, alongside a choice between media philosophy and sustainable development, followed by design fundamentals, engineering drawing, materials science, and further mathematics, together with a foreign-language elective at an advanced level. In the second year, students build technical garment-making skills through clothing pattern construction and modeling, fashion design, general chemistry, textile technologies, and probability and statistics, before moving into digital pattern design technologies, fashion visualization, clothing technology, and textile finishing, supported by an elective in areas such as prototyping methods or technical creativity and intellectual property.

The third year deepens specialization through clothing-specific technologies, knitwear design and technology, digital prototyping, the evolution of fashion, and the challenges of functional and sustainable textiles, including textile recycling, before turning to the design and technology of complex textiles, functional clothing, and image design and communication, alongside a substantial elective component covering new fashion product development, project management, or technology entrepreneurship. In the fourth year, students explore digital fashion, build fashion collections, conduct fashion research and prototyping, and study the international textile and clothing industry, culminating in a bachelor's degree final project and a professional internship.

Throughout the program, students develop engineering and logical thinking alongside creative design skills, learning to identify and evaluate textile materials, construct and model garment patterns, apply digital pattern design and 3D visualization tools, design garment joining technologies while ensuring quality, and analyze the environmental impact of new products. Students also build skills in image-building, trend analysis, quality assurance, and the development of virtual, animated fashion collections, along with the ability to work in interdisciplinary teams and apply theoretical knowledge to real production and research problems. A flexible 24-credit block of study modules allows students to shape their own path, developing competencies in areas such as design, marketing, business, computer games, or virtual fashion, with the option to choose a career or research mentor and to pursue a track focused on developing real innovations, products, or services in partnership with external organizations.

International experience is built into the program, with opportunities for part-time study, work placements, or project work at partner universities abroad, including short exchanges with international student teams in countries such as Italy, Portugal, Greece, and Sweden. Graduates go on to work as clothing designers, developing fashion collections that balance market demands, functionality, and aesthetics within multidisciplinary production teams; as textile experts, assessing and selecting materials and developing new, sustainable textile innovations; or as virtual fashion experts, creating digital clothing collections and managing personalized, digitally driven production.
