Our MA in Fashion and Lifestyle Promotion (with optional Professional Placement) looks at the links between fashion organisations and their consumers, stakeholders, and the wider fashion environment, and focuses on the creative essence of the fashion industry. This course is an ideal choice if your career goal is to work for a high-street/ online fashion, luxury or lifestyle brand.
The course will develop your intellectual and imaginative power through a programme of study that is formed from cohesion between theory and practice.
Within a stimulating environment you’ll exchange ideas supported through factual creative research, developed and contextualised. You’ll develop new connections within the field of fashion that challenge traditional design boundaries.
You will explore and use different research methods to investigate the branding and promotion of fashion through marketing, advertising, events management, PR, trend prediction, brand identity and media.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
