Professional opportunities

Graduates may pursue careers in traditional productive sectors (fibre production, spinning, weaving, garment manufacturing, finishing, dyeing, finishes, distribution and sale), where they will have the knowledge and skills needed to manage textile production in a globalised context. They will also be equipped to lead and manage research, development and innovation teams engaged in developing technical textile products for apparel, home use, aeronautics, sports, construction and for any other area where technological textile products with special functional properties are required. Graduates are also qualified to work in various areas of industry related to the textile sector, including the manufacture and marketing of chemicals used in textile processes and the design and manufacture of textile machinery. The skills and knowledge that students acquire will open up a range of job opportunities, including the possibility of employment as production managers; technicians in research, development and innovation of textile processes and products; product quality managers; technical advisers; and managers of various specific areas related to this field.
