BSc Fashion Business and Management
About this course
Fashion business and management is a degree that takes the global fashion industry seriously as a commercial system, developing graduates who understand how fashion brands operate, how supply chains are managed, how retail and buying decisions are made, and how the industry must evolve to meet growing demands for ethical and sustainable practice. Fashion is one of the world's largest and most complex industries, combining creative vision with global logistics, consumer psychology, and intense commercial pressure. At Manchester Metropolitan University, this three-year full-time programme develops future-focused fashion professionals equipped to shape a more ethical, intelligent, and consumer-driven industry. You will study fashion brand management, buying and merchandising, supply chain management, digital marketing, retail management, consumer behaviour, and sustainability strategy, developing both the commercial skills and the critical awareness that the contemporary fashion industry demands. A sandwich year places you in a professional environment for a sustained period, and work placement experience is integrated throughout the programme. Graduates from fashion business and management programmes work in brand management, buying, merchandising, retail management, digital marketing, supply chain management, PR and communications, and sustainability consultancy within the fashion and retail sector. The degree prepares graduates for roles across the value chain, from the sourcing decisions made by buyers to the consumer-facing work of brand and marketing managers. Postgraduate study in fashion management, sustainable fashion, and retail is available for those who wish to develop their expertise, and many graduates also pursue professional management qualifications alongside their careers.
