    What our students say

    “The Luxury Brand Management programme is the best thing I could have done to better my future – the partnership with Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design really opens up doors. We are taught valuable lessons and can take the knowledge with us into the luxury industry or on to other career paths!”

    “The lecturers are extremely knowledgeable, along with being motivating and inspiring. This programme is not just academic in nature – it offers hands-on experience of working in the luxury industry. I found an internship with a great agency, Eco-Age that helps companies with their marketing and sustainable strategies. And the partnership with Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design opens up doors – you get opportunities to connect with industry leaders.”

    “I picked this University due to its accreditation and reputation and this programme because I plan to combine my undergraduate degree (multimedia journalism) with fashion marketing.

    It has been an amazing experience so far , I’m fascinated by the way this course is being taught and how it’s elaborated with the field trips and workshops.”

    “Through the partnership with Condé Nast, every week Industry speakers are invited who I never dreamed I’d have the opportunity to interact with and ask questions, such as Anna Wintour. In addition the sessions with guest lecturers help you develop skills, sharpen techniques and guide you through the entire course, especially if you’re trying to find a job or internship. Most importantly, you’re offered experiences you wouldn’t get with other universities.”
