M.Sc. Textile Engineering
Textiles play a very important role in the economic well being of Pakistan. It is one of the biggest employers and exporters of goods in the country. Notwithstanding its pivotal position in the Pakistani economy, the textile industry, for its survival, relies very much on the technological developments that take place abroad. This is mainly due to the lack of highly qualified and trained staff that is capable of initiating and managing applied research and development projects related to the current and future technological needs of the Pakistani textile industry.
National Textile University is located in the heart of Pakistani Textile Industry in Faisalabad. It enjoys a good national and international reputation for its undergraduate programmes related to textiles. The university has internationally qualified and experienced faculty, which understands the needs of the textile industry and therefore is now embarking on establishing a postgraduate programme in the field of textile engineering. This course will enable the bachelor degree holders to undertake postgraduate studies in textiles. The major aim of the programme is to support the textile industry to take on in-house applied research and development in order to develop new processes and products, which will provide a competitive edge to the Pakistani textile manufacturers in the international arena. The results of the research projects will be disseminated through the publication of peer review papers, presentations at conferences and seminars at the national and international levels and through close liaison with the Pakistani textile industry. The programme will also help initiate research projects between the university and other national and international research organisations and institutions of higher learning.
