Based on the experience gained over the last 30 years in undergraduate and postgraduate education in the field of textile and clothing design, as well as the cooperation with foreign universities, especially those belonging to the CUMULUS network, a new study concept has been developed based on four parallel study verticals: a core vertical that includes the parallel study of textile and clothing design, an artistic expression vertical, a technological vertical that helps in the realisation of design ideas, and a support vertical that includes the necessary knowledge and skills in computer-aided design, knowledge of the history of textile and clothing design, marketing and management.
