Business Management with Fashion with Integrated Foundation Year

Business management with fashion is a combination that prepares you for the distinctive commercial landscape of the fashion and creative industries, where aesthetic vision and business acumen must coexist and reinforce each other. Fashion is one of the world's largest industries, generating billions of pounds annually through retail, wholesale, manufacturing, and associated creative services, and it demands professionals who can think strategically about brands, markets, and supply chains while also understanding the creative processes and cultural dynamics that make fashion distinctive. This programme brings those skills together from the ground up.

At Ravensbourne University London, a specialist creative university with strong links to the creative and media industries, this four-year full-time programme includes an integrated foundation year, making it accessible to students who may be coming from creative or vocational backgrounds and want to build their academic and business knowledge before the degree proper. London's position as one of the world's major fashion capitals provides an extraordinary context for studying the fashion industry, with access to major brands, independent designers, fashion media, and creative events throughout the year. You will study business strategy, marketing, retail management, supply chain, finance, and entrepreneurship alongside fashion-specific content including the history of fashion, brand positioning, trend analysis, and the creative economy.

The typical entry tariff of 104 points reflects the programme's inclusive approach.

Graduates are well placed for careers in fashion retail, brand management, buying, merchandising, marketing, fashion media, production management, and fashion entrepreneurship. The combination of business knowledge and fashion industry understanding is valued by a range of employers, from high street retailers and luxury brands to independent designers and fashion technology start-ups. Postgraduate study in fashion management, business, or creative industries management is available for those who want to develop more specialist expertise or pursue research.
