Bachelor in Fashion & Textile Technologies

Monika asks 10 mar 2019 Hi! I would like to ask what happens with students after their graduation? Do the university help them find a job or that is their own consern? On the universitie's site I couldn't find any information about their business partners. Does Saxion help they students to find their internship?: Isabelle says 11 mar 2019

Hi Monika, thank you for your questions. Saxion has a lot of partners for a minor (internationally as well as in Holland). An internship you have to arrange yourself. The F&TT internship does know a lot about experiences from previous students so you can definitely get help. The same goes for a job, it is your own responsibility after your graduation.

Prabhat Singh asks 20 sep 2018 What is the job senerio after this program and which type of company hire after this program?: Isabelle says 20 sep 2018

Hi Prabhat, there are many many job opportunities when you finish the course. These are examples of jobs in a commercial fashion company: Buyer, Product developer, Material Developer, Designer, Merchandiser.

Besides you could work in the interior branche or technical textile branche. Here the focus is more on the technical aspects and the properties of textiles. This could be in the medical, sports, transport or agro branche for example.

You can specialize yourself in the 3rd year by choosing your internship and minor.

I hope this helped you, if you have more questions, feel free to ask.

Tanya asks 24 jul 2018 Hi guys I have some queries regarding this course as I am joining in this September and would love to know more about it.?: IntoSaxion says 24 jul 2018

Hello Tanya! You can leave your questions here and one of the students will reply 😊

Bia asks 25 jun 2018 How can I find a room to rent in Enschede? I have been accepted to start in September 2018 and I need help finding a cheap room for me. Thanks a lot!: IntoSaxion says 12 jul 2018

Hi Bia,

Welcome! Maybe you can check at Facebook, there are different pages/groups for rooms. And check this website: https://www.roomspot.nl/ or Kamernet.

Good luck!

bia asks 25 jun 2018 What is your opinion about the program? Does it involve design too?: Jenny says 25 jun 2018

Hi Bia,

The program does not involve as much fashion design as I would like. It is more focused on sustainability and the technical aspect of the fashion industry.
It involves design but more on the technical level, so how can we change the design to make it sustainable.; Isabelle says 25 jun 2018

I would really recommend this program if you want to learn a lot about textiles and you are not sure yet what you want to do within the fashion industry. You will learn about different aspects of the industry through 4 projects. Buying, material development, research and collection. The project Collection focuses a bit more on design. I personally really liked designing so I chose to do my Minor in fashion design at Manchester Metropolitan University and I am doing my internship at Tommy Hilfiger in Design at the moment (3rd year). So, if you already know you want to become a designer and you only want to be creative, I wouldn’t recommend this program. But, if you are still in doubt and you are not only interested in design I would highly recommend it. Because you can specialize in your third year, there is still a possibility to become a (commercial) designer! Hope this helped.; 1 answer left Fold

Hayrullo asks 13 jul 2017 There's the basic textile course, which teaches different textile processes like knitting, weaving, dying, etc.Are these courses all taught only in theory? Or are there any workshops where we can see actual machines and work on them?: Idwerd says 15 jul 2017

Hi! Most of the courses will be taught in both theory and workshops. Saxion has a room with knittingmachines (computerized and normal flatknit) and a lab for quality-testing and dying/finishing. Weaving is, at least in my curriculum (I'm a third year student), only given on the computer, but you will understand the process as they show a lot of movies and samples. During the study there are a lot of options to see processes within companies, so you can see the weaving machines there probably. I hope this answered your questions :)
