Course Overview
BSc (Hons) Fashion Management and Strategy is for those who aspire towards leadership and innovator roles within a creative business environment. From the start, you’ll learn through theoretical analysis and practical projects about the fashion industry, developing skills that'll make you highly employable: collaboration, effective communication and business acumen, alongside an in-depth knowledge of global fashion practice.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn about how to strategically plan for fashion businesses with a strong emphasis on ethics. This takes into account what a business produces and how it operates in terms of its impact on people, animals and the environment. In line with AUB's own values, it's designed from the ground up with this approach, which is channelled though both the content and the ways we teach every unit.
Three reasons to study BSc (Hons) Fashion Management and Strategy at AUB:
- Values-based business management focus. This course emphasises a rigorous values-based approach to business management, specifically tailored to the fashion and lifestyle industries. You'll learn how to consider the impact of business decisions on people, animals, and the environment, fostering ethical leadership. This focus on ethics and sustainability is integral to the curriculum, preparing you to become a responsible future leader in the global fashion industry.
