Hochschule Niederrhein. Your way.

Dear teachers,

Thank you for your interest in the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology at Hochschule Niederrhein.

The Bachelor's degree programmes in Textile and ClothingTechnology, Design Engineering and Textile and Clothing Management combine creative thinking with scientific, technical and business know-how.

The choice of different areas of specialization such as Textile Technologies, Product Development or Management and Sustainability enables our students to help shape the future of the textile and clothing industry in an innovative and sustainable way according to their interests. A practical apprenticeship is intensified by working in our university's own laboratories and close cooperation with partners from industry, business and research.

For further specialization, various Master's degree programmes are offered in German or English.

We cordially invite you to get to know our faculties together with your pupils. Please contact Ms. Corradito arrange an individual visit or to find out more about what we have to offer.

We look forward to welcoming you and your pupils to our school!

Best regards,

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Lutz Vossebein, Dean

A special insight into our projects:

Are you and your pupils interested in what our students in Textile and Clothing Technology are currently researching and what they are working on in these subject areas?

In the 5th semester projects , our students spend a semester working on specific interdisciplinary and sometimes international tasks. The students gain valuable practical experience in this special course, as they work on the problems of real clients under industry-related conditions.

We would like to invite you to our final presentation. This takes place once a year in January and offers the opportunity to gain a brief insight into the respective project topics and work.

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact francesca.corradi(at)hs-niederrhein.de
