Biella has always been considered a region with a very old tradition in producing top quality textile products. The "Biella Master" is a 13 month long post graduate course. Each student receives a 10.000 euro scholarship, reduced to Euro 8.000 for Biella province resident. During the thirteen months, Master students complete their training both at school and 'in the field'. Their exposure and experience will span from breeding and shearing to wool auction sales, front yarn spinning all the way to the final steps of the weaving of fabrics, cutting and manufacturing of finished garments, to their final distribution in the biggest and most important department stores. The main goal of the "Biella Master delle Fibre Nobili is the creation of highly knowledgeable future top managers who have received both theoretical and practical education.
