Luxury Fashion Brand Management

About

International luxury fashion brands inspire and inform the zeitgeist of the global fashion industry. The management of these elite organisations requires the application of creativity and strong business acumen at every level. Our MA Luxury Fashion Brand Management course aims to provide advanced skills and knowledge in contemporary and emerging branding and fashion management practice and theory.

Our MA Luxury Fashion Brand Management sits in a suite with the following courses:

MA International Fashion Management

You learn alongside students from these other MA courses, and have the option to transfer MA titles if your specialism changes.

Gain a globally recognised academic qualification, in conjunction with personal and professional development for employability and entrepreneurship.

83% of NTU's research submitted to the 'Art and Design: History, Practice and Theory' Unit of Assessment was assessed to be world-leading or internationally excellent in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021.
Benefit from industry speakers, such as senior executives and consultants working for leading luxury fashion brands.

The course examines the organisational development and sustainability of high-profile luxury brands and the creation of unique and individualised products and services. Marketing and branding strategies are analysed and critically evaluated as organisational functions. Branding practice focuses on brand equity and brand management, product innovation, the consumer experience, digital environments, e-commerce and luxury brands, brand and marketing metrics and performance measurement, consumer and international culture, IPR law and the copy culture.

Modules

Term One

Culture & Collaboration

On this module you will develop an advanced level of understanding of the wider cultural context for current and future work. Within this module you will collaborate with Masters students across the school of art and design on a negotiated theme relevant to contemporary debates in art & design. Together you will produce an outcome contributing to a collective festival of ideas. You will gain skills in research, analysis, ideas generation, critical thinking, communication, and presentation.

Specialist course module: Luxury Fashion Brand Management

(40 credit points)

This pathway specialism will provide an insight into luxury brand strategies and the functions of head office roles/careers that assist in sustaining a luxury brand reputation and performance.

We discuss the variations in defining luxury products and services, applying theory to practice, what the broader luxury landscape looks like, outside of fashion Ie. Beverages, automobiles, hospitality etc. And the consumer values and needs of a specific luxury shopper. By the end of this module, I would expect a student to specialise in an aspect of luxury that they wish to pursue as a career.

Alternatively, your referee can email your reference to us at [email protected] – but it must come from their official email address. This means that it must be sent from a school, college, university or work email address.

It's your responsibility to request a reference from your referee and ensure that they, or you, submit it to us. We don't request references from referees on your behalf.

Step 3: Track the progress of your application

As long as you’ve provided all the information we need, we’ll try and make a decision on your application within five to ten working days. However, this can take longer and you should allow at least three weeks for a decision .

We’ll be updating you throughout this process though so make sure you add @ntu.ac.uk to your safe senders list and keep an eye on your emails. You can also track the progress of your application through the Applicant Portal.

Some courses will require that you attend an interview, or you may have to submit a portfolio of work. We'll contact you and give you plenty of warning if you need to do either of these things.
