Design: Technology.Textile is characterized by the work in the workshops and studios of our three centrally located sites of the University of Art and Design Linz. Here we think and make, invent and research - on topics of past, present and future material cultures. Studying at the University of Art and Design Linz means participating in current developments in the design, architecture, art and culture scene and contributing to artistic and scientific research that opens up further opportunities, often in cooperation with other institutions such as the Ars Electronica Center. The University of Art and Design Linz is a place of networking and fluid learning, a place of critical engagement with current social, technological and ecological issues.
In the Design:Technology.Textiles teaching degree program, where art educators take on social responsibility through their educational mandate, students are given all the important tools to empower generations of children in this sense.

The Design:Technology.Textiles course must be combined with another teacher training course. At the Institute of Art and Education, the course can be combined with "Visual Education" or "Media Design", but it is also possible to combine it with other subjects. The Bachelor's course lasts eight semesters, the Master's course four semesters.
