Combine your passion for design and technology, define a versatile professional profile, create a new aesthetic language for the textile industry.
From tradition to the avant-garde: in the Master’s Degree in Fabric and Surface Pattern Design you will approach Pattern Design from a multifaceted methodology. You will take subjects that place special emphasis on the development of creativity and mastery of technique. You will also delve into the different traditional processes (screen printing, digital printing, rotary printing, ceramic decals, etc.) and gain knowledge on their possible commercial applications: fabrics, wallpaper, ceramics, home design, stationery and jewellery, among other disciplines.
The main objective of this master's degree is to train professionals capable of adapting to the needs of the market: you will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to generate ideas and develop designs applicable to different products and surfaces.

There are many different disciplines in which pattern design is in high demand: fashion, decorating, designed surfaces, product development, architecture, and more.
You’ll be in class with a heterogeneous student body, people from a variety of different backgrounds, which makes the campus a fertile breeding ground of ideas: students may have a background in fashion, graphic design, art, and other disciplines not necessarily related to design.
