Fashion Innovation Technologies

I became interested in technological sciences because of the interdisciplinary competences required in this field of science, which are necessary for solving various engineering problems. While studying the Fashion Engineering bachelor's degree program, the design-oriented modules were integrated with the engineering modules, thus not only developing creative abilities, but also teaching how to technically implement a designed clothing product. During my undergraduate studies, I became interested in research focused on improving the properties of textile materials.
In the profession of a scientist-researcher, technical knowledge is one of the most important criteria for solving current scientific problems. Therefore, when choosing a master's degree, I wanted the studies to expand the available technical knowledge. The technological knowledge deepened and newly acquired during the Master's studies was successfully applied while studying the third-cycle Materials Engineering study program.
In the current professional path, the competences acquired in the years of bachelor's and master's studies help to analyze the results of scientific research and predict the properties of newly designed textile materials.

The lectures of this study program are professionals in their field, who have accumulated valuable experience in the field of materials engineering and are interested in the latest technologies. In my master's studies, I gained knowledge of textile and clothing technologies, digital fashion and virtual technologies in the clothing industry, which I was able to successfully apply during my studies and in my current professional activities. In the master's final project, I created an innovative clothing product using 3D virtual technologies, which I presented at the innovation and technology exhibition "Technorama 2022". The studies and the research conducted during them became an important step in changing the direction of the professional career, connecting it with science and the latest technologies.

These studies are memorable for the wide range of subjects taught: from 3D printing technologies and smart textiles to fashion trend forecasting and brand communication. It shows how diverse the fashion industry is today. During my studies, I got to know different areas of this industry, as if after testing my strength and "trying on" different professions, it is easier to choose an area of interest.

I chose the master's study program very responsibly and knowing what I expected from my studies and what knowledge I wanted to acquire. I also had the topic of my thesis planned, so it was important for me to be able to explore it further during my studies.
I chose the fashion innovation technology study program because the topics of the studied subjects combined not only technological but also brand subjects, which was extremely important for me in my professional career.
