Course Overview

BA (Hons) Business and Management (Fashion) is a degree course that explores the business of fashion, not a fashion design degree. We’ll help you develop as a person to achieve your potential by teaching you about the business of fashion and how it works.

The course offers an Integrated Foundation Year, making it ideal for students who wish to build their skills before transitioning to an undergraduate honors degree in Business and Management. You can shape your degree by choosing modules from outside of the Fashion pathway, enabling you to explore issues around a particular theme, such as marketing, sustainability, or global affairs.

As the course progresses, you’ll develop specialist skills, including digital marketing skills, that will empower you to compete in this changeable and challenging environment.
