The MBA at the Fashion Business School is focused on the wider global fashion industry. It is a full-time course delivered over 45 academic weeks. It is aimed at candidates who have 3 years’ experience in the industry, including internships, work experience or running their own company who wish to upskill and challenge themselves to engage with new knowledge and be exposed to new ways of thinking. The MBA curriculum has been informed by extensive industry engagement, cutting edge research and market intelligence. LCF has unrivalled close working relationships with leading organisations and institutions who operate in the wider fashion context, including retail, product development, manufacturing, marketing, digital technology, finance and investment. In addition, the MBA has been designed to support students in their own professional development alongside the taught curriculum. Students will have access to a range of resources and workshops to build relevant soft skills vital to success in the sector, for example self- efficacy and professional resilience. Many of these soft skills have been researched by UAL to enhance enterprise and form a framework of skill development known as the Creative Attributes Framework, designed specifically for UAL students. The teaching and learning strategy has a strong emphasis on applied and experiential learning, problem solving, and industry engagement. Course units are supported by LCF Research Hubs and Centres including the Centre for Sustainable Fashion and the The Fashion Innovation Agency.
