Description Contents Requirements Funding More

The Master of Science Luxury Management & Innovation is a unique postgraduate programme that transforms students into confident managers in the global luxury industry with a specific focus on innovation and sustainability. Utilizing a rich variety of modules, you will enhance your knowledge, development, and application of critical thinking skills as well as practice negotiation skills, problem-solving techniques, and effective decision making.

Maintaining a luxury brand or a business requires the ability to create a precise strategy, to attract and inspire customers, as well as to always stay innovative in a dynamic and competitive market. This programme will prepare you for an exciting career at a prestigious brand, equip you with theoretical and practical skills needed to tackle the difficulties of management, and provide you with the confidence to establish a successful brand of your own.

You will enjoy a unique balance between academics offering theoretical knowledge and senior-level professionals (entrepreneurs, CEOs of successful companies, industry experts) offering practical advice and guidance.

Moreover, our international faculty and experts either have their own company or are active professionals in top-performing organisations. This allows you to receive a rare opportunity to learn from successful teachers and gain knowledge on how to achieve the best results in a particular field.

Guided by faculty project leaders, you will work on practical assignments such as proposing new products for a brand, producing a fashion editorial for a magazine, or developing a product innovation - from concept to execution.
