Overview
The Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Business is a 3-year course that enables students to explore the values that make up the DNA of a fashion company and promote it through tailored communications and an effective marketing strategy.
Description
Because the world of fashion is constantly evolving, the programme covers both tried-and-tested techniques from the past and innovative, forward-looking approaches. A cultural, historical, economic and sociological perspective enables students to understand how trends emerge in different countries, in order to optimise sales strategies. International placements are available in the third year of the Bachelor’s programme. Under this option, students can attend LIM College in New York or UOWD in Dubai for one semester, or one of our European partner universities for one semester as part of the Erasmus+ programme. Students will then receive a scholarship. An optional seminar abroad is also available each year.
The Bachelor’s in Fashion Business programme includes a number of work placement phases, ranging from one week during Fashion Week to 6 consecutive months in the third year. Depending on the year and the student’s experience, they will be given several assignments related to their studies and career objectives.
