Throughout the course, you’ll learn about how to strategically plan for fashion businesses with a strong emphasis on ethics. This takes into account what a business produces and how it operates in terms of its impact on people, animals and the environment. In line with AUB's own values, it's designed from the ground up with this approach, which is channelled though both the content and the ways we teach every unit.
