Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

OUR PROGRAM
The International Fashion Development and Management program is a one-year postgraduate program* designed for the student or industry professional with a serious interest in international business.
The program provides you with the essential skills to succeed in the changing global marketplace. As new communication technologies have made the world a smaller place, more possibilities for the fashion industry have emerged on an international scale, along with many exciting related career opportunities.
You are exposed to world trade through the study of economic, legal and cultural factors that affect international trade policies. Specifically, the focus of study is on the understanding of sourcing, global marketing, logistics and supply chain management as they relate to the fashion industry worldwide. The program content combines analytical and management skills, along with knowledge of world culture and understanding of the global economy, to enable success in the international fashion industry.
The program includes a work placement component at the end of the second semester.
*Courses are not taught at the introductory level.
