International Master of Science in Textile Engineering
The International Master of Science in Textile Engineering combines a specialist training in textile engineering with a multidisciplinary approach. It brings together the strengths of the most renowned specialists in the domain of textiles in Europe. Together, we ensure that the demands of an industry continuously striving for technological innovation, creativity and quality are fulfilled.
EUR-ACE® Master (EURopean ACcredited Engineering Master)
The EUR-ACE label was accredited to this programme by the Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI), under the auspices of the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).
EUR-ACE® is a framework and accreditation system that provides a set of standards that identifies high-quality engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad.
Open Days
Each spring there is a Graduation Fair. It consists of a job fair (with more than 200 different companies) and a postgrad/master fair.
For some programmes, there is a specific Open Day. If this is the case, you will find the date here (at the latest Feb 15th).

Additional Information on Admission (Flemish Degree)
Holders of one of the above-mentioned diplomas who wish to follow the program must present themselves to the Management Board of the program before June 1 of the previous academic year. They cannot be admitted after this date.
Students wishing to apply for an Erasmus+ scholarship must apply to the Management Board by 1 March prior to the academic year of registration.
More information: https://we-team.education/
Admission for Students holding a Non-Flemish Degree
The first eligibility criterion concerns the bachelor education of the applicant. Candidates must have at least a Bachelor degree (minimum 180 ECTS credits or equivalent) in the fields related to engineering or science (including but not limited to material science, textiles, chemistry, bioscience, mechanical engineering) including 15 ECTS in mathematics and a total of 10 ECTS pure or applied chemistry and physics or an equivalent level, from a recognised university or engineering college. For applications on the basis of a diploma issued in a country that ratified the Lisbon Recognition Convention, the principles of this convention will be honoured. Students who are about to complete their bachelor degree can be admitted under the condition of successful completion of the bachelor degree by the start of the intake.
For students having a background that does not fully meet the requirements concerning maths, physics and chemistry, the MB may design a preparatory programme that fills the gaps in their education so that upon successful completion of this programme the student meets the first criterion. In such case, the student must have fully completed the preparatory programme by the start of the WE-TEAM programme and successfully pass the full selection procedure for the other criteria.
Students should fill in the online application form and submit prior to the set deadlines. More information can be found at https://we-team.education/the-procedure-in-5-steps/
Language requirements
Language requirements for this study programme differ from the required standard level for English taught study programmes as specified in the Ghent University Education and Examination Code:
English
* B2 Cambridge Certificate or an equivalent level
* IELTS Certificate (with a minimum overall score of 6.5 with at least 6 for writing) or an equivalent level
* TOEFL Certificate with a minimum score of 570 (paper-based or 86 (internet-based) or an equivalent level
* TOEIC Certificate with a minimum score of 1560 (calculated as Listening & Reading score + Writing & Speaking score multiplied by 2.5) or an equivalent level
Flexible trajectories
Flexible trajectories refers to alternative ways of following our courses. It might mean that a course can be spread in time as to allow the combination of work and studying, or that students with special needs get the support they need to allow a successful study career.
An international experience
The first three semesters are hosted in a different universities (semester 1: Ghent University-Belgium semester 2: rotates between University of West-Attica-Greece, Polytechnic University of Valencia-Spain and University of Haute Alsace-France and in semester 3 students can chose between University of Borås-Sweden and Kyoto Institute of Technology-Japan). The fourth and last semester is dedicated to the dissertation at one of the participating universities. Local and visiting professors teach specific knowledge in course modules that usually cover one or two weeks.
