3 reasons to study a dual degree in business administration and fashion design

IE’s programme integrates craft and individual expression within a dynamic course structure which also foregrounds key soft skills for a career in business. Students spend the first two years of the five-year programme based in Segovia, before transitioning to Madrid for the final three years. 

On both campuses, you’ll find a vibrant culture of design across the available facilities, which include a fully equipped fashion studio and tech lab, while a series of practical projects will provide you with the opportunity to learn the skills you’ll need to succeed in the complex reality of the business world. 

Studying at IE also means access to its global alumni network, and the opportunity to study alongside students from all around the world. An average of 130 nationalities are represented on campus, with more than three-quarters of IE’s students originating from outside Spain. This international diversity is the perfect preparation for a career in an industry as global as fashion. 

IE’s fashion curriculum places great value on fashion management skills and the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with new technologies, but arguably its greatest quality is its focus on sustainability and addressing the challenges the fashion industry must face in the near future. 

Graduates will be well-placed to make a positive change through thoughtful, innovative design, thanks to the centring of sustainability, inclusivity, and social responsibility at the heart of the programme.  

David Goodman, Dean of IE School of Architecture and Design, said: “We believe in the power of the creative industries to create a more sustainable, more beautiful, and more just world, and we think that fashion design is at the center of that transformative capacity.”
