Fashion Buying and Merchandising Management
MSc — 1 Year Full-Time
Our MSc Fashion Buying and Merchandising Management programme provides an opportunity for you to develop specialist knowledge of fashion buying and merchandising from a managerial perspective and the skills required to thrive successfully within this fast-paced, competitive, global industry. To achieve this, the course takes a vocational approach with a strong academic underpinning, whilst encouraging creativity.
Industry-related briefs, supported by local and international fashion businesses, will expose students to live situations where they will make real-world decisions and learn to communicate effectively at all levels and across language barriers. Fundamental to the programme is the development of professional, managerial and personal abilities, such as commercial awareness, financial analysis, negotiation and relationship management, all essential to success in international business.
This programme is accredited by The Textile Institute, the leading professional body for promoting professionalism in the textile industries. Students may fast track and apply for globally recognised professional qualifications after a shorter period of work experience and in some cases directly upon graduation.
