Fashion Business & Retail [Online]
Studying Fashion Business & Retail [Online], you’ll learn about the structure of businesses within the fashion industry. You’ll discover all the roles and careers available and how they work together to achieve business goals. Learn the key skills fashion brands are looking for, including consumer behaviour and data analysis.
Buying & Merchandising [Online]
Studying Buying & Merchandising [Online], you'll learn the essential skills you need for a career as a fashion buyer or merchandiser. Discover how to plan and trade a fashion season from concept to customer; and how trends and consumer behaviour inform your business decisions.
I was unsure which career I wanted to pursue, but my course at the Fashion Retail Academy helped me decide between buying and merchandising! You’ll get a hands-on approach and work closely with industry experts within the fashion industry who have experience within the roles themselves.

Trends are moving faster than ever before, across multiple platforms and reaching a much wider audience. Understanding data in the fashion industry allows you to notice and react to upcoming trends, and even create them yourself, by being closer to your audience than ever before. Not only can this inform the creative process, but it allows a brand to solve business and real-world problems.

There will be a discussion session once a fortnight, and you can arrange tutorials with the course leader, and access advice and guidance from the Careers & Progression team.

A FASHION DEGREE ALTERNATIVE
An online course could be the perfect alternative to a fashion degree if you're looking to get into the fashion industry as quickly as possible (and save yourself money!). As our online courses are no more than 36 weeks and give you the opportunity to still work in your current job alongside your studies, we believe that these bespoke courses are a great alternative to a more academic and longer way of learning.
