Summary

Overview If you’re a self-motivated independent thinker with a passion for research and fashion, this MA Fashion Marketing degree will help you become a creative innovator with the knowledge and skills you need to make an impact in the fashion industry.

Discover concepts, functions and processes of fashion buying and merchandising, alongside the theory and practice of marketing management, and explore new and emerging communication practices for fashion and luxury businesses.

You’ll learn to gather intelligence and insight from a global and cultural landscape, and transform this into exciting marketing strategies and communications across print, media and digital platforms.

You’ll gain a solid foundation in marketing theory and practice, and learn to apply this knowledge to the global fashion marketplace.

As you build your entrepreneurship skills, you’ll complete an independent final project on a topic you choose.

During the course you'll have opportunities to attend talks introducing you to a wide range of brands, sectors, expertise, and innovation topics, so you’ll graduate ready to engage in contemporary conversations in fashion. Past speakers have included Thomas Slide, Director for Media and Technology at Mintel. Thomas presented a look at some of the most important consumer trends relating to technology, from the adoption of new products to the way devices fit into our daily lives, including an analysis of how consumers feel about technology and the many ways it is transforming the manner we interact with and experience the world.

You can also attend field trips where we'll explore flagship stores and commercial spaces, looking at how disruptive design has affected luxury flagship stores in the twenty first century and examining contemporary challenges imposed by digital innovations.

You’ll study within the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries and the Faculty of Business and Law.
