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.
This programme is jointly offered by Ghent Unviversity (Belgium), Kyoto Institute of Technology (Japan), University of Haute-Alsace (France), University of Borås (Sweden), University of West Attica (Greece) and University of Valencia (Spain).
All students follow the courses from the first semester at Ghent University.
