In an increasingly globalised market, fashion brand and marketing managers require a strong knowledge base and understanding of international market structures, culture, market entry modes and brand strategy. The fashion marketing management programme at Cardiff Met focuses on internationally relevant projects and offers the opportunity to travel for study trips or exchange visits. The course lecturers have both academic knowledge and industry experience to develop the skills you need to become highly employable fashion marketing graduates. You will enter a ‘think tank’ of fashion marketing, putting your knowledge and skills into practice during your assessments and work placement opportunities. An optional work placement year between your second and final year enhances employability and exposes students to valuable experience and networking opportunities within the industry. This Fashion Marketing Management degree focuses on developing your personal and professional skills and awareness, developing highly creative and analytical graduates capable of adapting to an ever evolving fashion industry. Upon graduating, you will have a wide base of fashion, marketing and management knowledge – with transferrable skills relevant to many roles within the fashion industry. We offer this programme with two study options. You can choose four years full-time or five years full-time which would include a one-year professional placement before your final year that will give you hands-on experience in a real-life working environment. This sandwich year would give you practical skills that many employers seek, giving you a competitive edge upon graduation.
