Utbildningsfakta

Kod: KMATM

The Master's Programme in Textile and Fashion Design aims to further develop and deepen your artistic, technical, theoretical and reflective skills and abilities as textile/fashion designers. The programme offers in-depth practice-based studies in work developed by the students in a progressing system that starts with the application project and ends with degree work. Critical reflection is embedded in courses that relate historical art and design analysis and theory to a diverse range of practises; from projects that focus on your individual abilities to collaborative artistic projects in cooperation with organisations, institutes and companies. Thus, the programme enhances individual artistic and technical skills, ultimately aiming at training professional designers with high artistic proficiency that are excellent practitioners of design, or able to go into practice-based design research, or both. Depending on your BA degree in design, you choose an area of specialisation: textile design, textile interaction design, fashion design or performance wear design with sub-divisionary applications. Please apply for one area of specialisation or several specialisations if you are slightest unsure about which specialisation would suit you best. Specific challenges and discourses are intrinsically linked to each area of specialisation, but also open up for work where these intersect. The programme aims at nurturing your ability to identify, strategically handle, and propose solutions to a range of differing problems. Critical reflection is an important tool in this, developed through discussions and by presenting problems and solutions to both peers and to representatives of the design community. From having acquired familiarity of the design field at large, you are trained to evaluate, contextualize and criticise your own work as well as the works of others. As the fundament for artistic expression, the programme puts a strong emphasis on further developing your understanding and working knowledge of techniques, concepts, and design materials specific to textile design, textile interaction design, fashion design, or performance wear. To further reflection, issues of ethics and sustainability are an important part of this. Works developed within the programme range from critical artistic work that suggests alternative designs to prototypes introducing new advanced techniques, concept, and materials for professional development A general goal of the programme is to provide a holistic and critical view of the profession in relation to both specific challenges and global industry. The programme aims to prepare you for practice in constant change by providing tools that allow you to become an actuator of beneficial and sustainable change. A holistic and artistic starting point thus becomes a question of uniting aesthetics, ethics, and economy in an applicable form that can function as a basis for critical reflection on products and production. The master programme is directed towards deepening regard for design development and artistic reflection. This is grounded in the shifting of your focus from the individual design project to a design programme that is exemplified and deepened in various projects, i.e. a thematic, overriding programme declaration that supports focusing on design decisions central in how general design intentions can be manifested in individual design projects. A design programme can, very broadly, point out an ideological direction or, more concretely, introduce new possibilities in concepts, materials and/or techniques. <a href="http:www.hb.se/ths/masterdesign/apply">How to apply</a>
