Welcome to DMU

Sustainable Textile Technologies MSc is part of the School of Fashion and Textiles at DMU. This school is highly acclaimed for its creativity and research outputs, notably for its commitment to sustainability and work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which are used as a framework for sustainable education throughout our curriculum.

Based in the award-winning Vijay Patel Building all of our fashion and textile courses are brought together providing inspiring, flexible spaces, studios and facilities which invite creativity and innovation.

The Vijay Patel building also is home to DMU’s Textile Engineering and Materials (TEAM) research group headed by professor Jinsong Shen. The MSc Sustainable Textile Technologies course is closely aligned with the multidisciplinary TEAM research group, with members of this group teaching on the course.

TEAM researchers have a wide range of specialist knowledge and expertise, currently focusing on research to develop innovative eco-friendly textile processes, sustainable materials and high performance textiles with multifunctionality. TEAM provide access to a state-of-the-art, industry-standard testing laboratory, which students can use to help support their work.
