About the course
The leather industry is packed with exciting career opportunities and this Leather Technology (Professional) MSc course is an excellent route in if you have a science or technology background. It’s also a great way to expand your knowledge and skills if you are already employed in the leather industry.
Leather is returning to prominence as alternatives struggle to achieve comparable performance and/or they are derived from non-renewable carbon-based materials. Scientific advances combined with environmental responsibility have transformed the leather manufacture industry into a modern scientific process, creating a highly sustainable material with high value in many sectors such as sports, automobiles, luxury goods and fashion.

Students with lower level qualifications or qualifications in a different subject area, but relevant experience in the leather industry will also be considered on an individual basis
If you do not meet our standard entry requirements, it is possible to undertake the first twelve weeks as a training course only (no assessment is required and you will be issued with a “Certificate of Attendance” by the University of Northampton). See the programme website for further details.
