5 Reasons to Study International Fashion Marketing and Design Management

1. Specialise in managing international fashion

Our fashion Masters course is one of very few online fashion management courses that integrates the two areas of fashion marketing and design management, drawing on expertise from leading academics at the University of Leeds School of Design.

By learning more about the relevance of the strategic aspects of design management and service design, you’ll be expertly placed to facilitate fashion management decisions in a truly unique and global industry. Alongside this, you’ll learn to drive and manage international fashion marketing campaigns in the digital age, developing the relevant strategic problem-solving skills required of fashion leaders.

2. Elevate your fashion marketing expertise

Our fashion masters course offers a solid grounding in fashion marketing – exploring the various implications of marketing and branding on organisations operating at an international scale. As the industry rapidly fluctuates through the growth of influencer marketing, fashion leaders must be quick to react to consumer trends and demands.

Through our module in Strategic Digital Marketing for Fashion, you’ll develop a critical understanding in building successful fashion brands, the strategic decision-making process, and the impact of different fashion marketing strategies on a company. Throughout your studies you will also be able to undertake modules such as International Fashion Marketing and Creative Brand Management, Social Media Marketing and Communication and more to develop your marketing expertise.

3. Lead the delivery of global design strategies

Our fashion Masters course also covers the fascinating field of design management, arming you with the awareness and skills needed to drive brand innovation and business solutions.

If you choose to study our course, you’ll study a module in Design Management where you’ll learn the relevance of the strategic aspects of design management and service design. You’ll investigate service design within the circular economy model and explore design auditing and value typology across a variety of phases in the fashion value chain.

4. Drive fashion towards a sustainable future

According to Bloomberg, the fashion industry accounts for up to 10% of global carbon dioxide output – higher than international flights and shipping combined. To become an international fashion leader, you’ll need to strategise new ways to minimise this impact.

The Case Studies in Global Fashion and Sustainability module is available to study on the MA and PGCert pathways of our online fashion course. Here you’ll be able to identify and apply creative solutions from theories and critical frameworks to reduce negative social and environmental impact across all areas of the international fashion value chain.
