The specialized module allows learners to concentrate on key issues within fashion and luxury business, such as brand heritage, customer experience, luxury value creation, product positioning, global sourcing, and emerging trends in exclusive markets.

The minimum duration is +12 months. This means the program has a minimum study period, while students also have the flexibility to extend the study program based on their professional schedule and personal pace of research.
