Information to decide

A creative, project-based program to specialize in business management for the fashion sector.

Students will learn about the economic, legal and organisational framework governing companies in the fashion industry, learning to analyse and manage a company with the needs of today and to apply the necessary digital tools (e-business, e-commerce, etc.).

This programme provides students with the creative capacity necessary to innovate in management and resources and to lead any business change.

Students will also work with a teaching team made up of leading professionals from the fashion industry, who pass on both theoretical and specific technical knowledge.
