Summary of the Profile

General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To provide integrated knowledge of fashion design, development and production technologies, to develop a holistic sophistication of fashion products and the ability to make more effective decisions based on scientific reasoning and principles of sustainable development.

Learning outcomes:
Knowledge and Understanding:
A1 Is able to analyse fashion product design, development, visualization, production and marketing digital technologies, and effectively apply them to communication of sustainable fashion products.
A2 Is able to apply knowledge about advanced scientific achievements relevant to the fashion industry in the development of products with predictable properties of performance.
A3 Is able to reveal interdisciplinary context of fashion technology science and integrate the latest research knowledge and practices to develop a sustainable fashion product.
Technological Analysis:
B1 Is able to solve atypical and undefined problems of digital design, development, visualization, sustainable production and processing of authentic branded fashion products.
B2 Is able to analyse and critically evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of fashion product and brand from the social, environmental, economic and exploitation reliability point of view.
B3 Is able to provide scientifically based solutions for the development of fashion product technology and innovations.
Technological Design:
C1 Is able to apply knowledge and expertise in the development, design and implementation of new fashion product creatively and using knowledge of interdisciplinary science.
C2 Is able to create and innovatively develop ideas of new, in-demand fashion product and choose the latest digital technologies for their implementation.
C3 Is able to make sustainable interdisciplinary strategic solutions for fashion product technology development and brand management in the presence of technically uncertain and inexplicable problems.
Research:
D1 Is able to integrate research methods from different fields, to identify the primary and derived data necessary to implement original fashion design ideas, and to predict the exploitation behaviour of products.
D2 Is able to independently to plan and perform methodologically based analytical, numerical modeling or experimental research, perform statistical analysis, interpretation and summary of results, prepare conclusions and recommendations.
D3 Is able to independently to research, analyse and justify the application of innovative technologies for new decisions and define the conditions and limits of their application.
D4 Is able to make socially responsible decisions and carry out applied research and project activities based on the latest scientific recommendations, interdisciplinary knowledge and skills.
Practical Activities:
E1 Is able to choose and apply research methods and methodologies of design, technology and marketing, indicate the limits of their application and opportunities for the improvement and development.
E2 Is able to solve interdisciplinary technological problems by linking knowledge of design, marketing and technology, and applying design principles of creativeness, international marketing, sustainability and technological process.
E3 Is able to evaluate and apply advanced technologies of product development and production, technological implementation of textile materials or advanced technologies of marketing.
E4 Is able to describe and practically implements technologies of sustainable fashion innovations according to requirements of engineering activities.
Personal Skills:
F1 Is able to solve the impact of design, technological and marketing solutions on society and environment, relate responsibilities of the responsibility for the made decisions, creative and technological activities.
F2 Is able to identify aspects of the development and communication management of an authentic branded fashion product, interpret the interfaces of decisions with the engineering activities necessary to ensure sustainable development and the potential risks.
F3 Is able to work effectively independently and in a team, assume a leadership role, communicate clearly and responsibly, critically evaluate, present and argue information to the professionals and the public at the national and international levels.
F4 Is able to evaluate the importance of individual and team lifelong learning, is able to improve along with technological and scientific progress.


Activities of teaching and learning:
The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, consultation seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence.
The study methods of active learning, such as design (programming), design thinking, challenge-based learning, creative workshops, group work, experiential learning, discussion, problem-based learning, reflective learning, idea (mind) mapping, etc. are applied to encourage the active participation and creativity of students in the study process. The achievements are assessed using the traditional assessment methods, such as laboratory examination, assignments, laboratory or project report, as well as other methods: work or competency file (portfolio), problem-solving task, engineering project, reflection on action, self-assessment, etc.

Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components).
The number of intermediate assessments and their expression in percentage are chosen by the study module’s coordinating lecturer. Besides the usual forms of assessment (for example, examination, oral presentation, project report, laboratory examination), an additional form of assessment “Assessment of student activity (level)” may be applied (up to 10% of the final grade) for the assessment of the student’s preparation for case analysis, an active discussion, participation in debates, etc.
