MA Global Fashion Management

This course has been developed in consultation with leading fashion retailers and represents a new direction in the integration of fashion retail management, fashion marketing, international consumer behaviour and supply chain planning.

You’ll engage with a unique blend of numerical management skills, master analytical tools and customer marketing techniques in order to understand and shape global retail operations.

The course structure allows you to study at both the internationally renowned School of Design and Leeds University Business School, one of the top departments of its kind in the world. This means you’ll have the opportunity to gain the varied knowledge and skills needed for a managerial career in the exciting, dynamic and internationally-oriented fashion sector.

Specialist facilities

The School of Design has excellent facilities to enhance teaching and research. We recently invested over £4 million in new laboratories, exhibition areas and student spaces, as well as new facilities with the latest technology for weaving, knitting, digital printing, coloration and colour communication. You’ll be able to develop your practice in well-equipped studios and purpose-built computer clusters so you can build your skills on both PC and Mac as well as computer-aided deign (CAD) software.

We also have an impressive range of resources you can use for research. We house the M&S Company Archive including documents, advertising, photos, films, clothing and merchandise from throughout Marks & Spencer’s history, offering a fascinating insight into the changing nature of our culture over time.
