Career Prospects

This course is geared towards the marketing and management of fashion brands, rather than fashion design or production. When you graduate, you should be ideally placed to begin a career in junior marketing and management related roles. You might choose instead to go into merchandising, the supply chain, sustainable fashion, brand management or consultancy. You could also build a fashion career in a specialist area of the creative professional marketing services sector, either on the agency-side or on the client-side. Areas such as PR, digital marketing, advertising, creative direction, account management and trend forecasting could also be popular careers for you.

Your skills should be transferable across wide industry sectors, so you won’t be limited to fashion if you’d like to branch out. For example, among a range of posts, you could consider management or marketing positions in retail, cosmetics, hair fashion, events management, health and leisure.
