- Description/content
- The leather and textile industries are exciting and rapidly growing sectors that are worldwide in demand. They offer a wide range of career opportunities both nationally and internationally. The increasing demand for sustainable materials and processes, as well as transparency in supply chains, is generating new opportunities in areas such as research, material and process development, production, and quality control.
Leather and Textile Engineering can only be studied in this combination at the Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences. Furthermore, an engineering degree in “Leather Processing and Shoe Technology” is unique in Germany, as it can only be acquired at the Campus Pirmasens at the Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences.
Leather and Textile Engineering offers a research- and application-oriented education for students with an interest in materials science, chemistry, design, and production technology. As part of the training, excellent equipped laboratories are available for research and development.
Graduates have the practical and theoretical prerequisites for technical professions in the field of quality management, materials and product development. The broad-based degree programme also qualifies students for research activities and a consecutive Master’s degree programme followed by a doctorate at Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences as well as at other colleges and universities.
