To ensure students receive close academic guidance, class sizes are kept small: Seminar classes: no more than 20–25 students and Tutorial classes: no more than 8–10 students.

Introducing the MA Luxury Brand Management Programme

Regent’s University London has offered the Luxury Brand Management programme for more than 10 years and is recognized as the first university in the UK to launch this programme. The course also received the Pearson 2021 award for the Strategic Management of a Luxury Business module and is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).

Key Features of the MA Luxury Brand Management Programme

1. A Comprehensive Combination of Academics, Skills, Experience and Career Opportunities

Regent’s divides the programme content into three components across the three terms of the master’s programme, which makes it different from many other universities. The first component is the academic part, where students study foundational knowledge and theories related to management and business administration, progressing toward completing a project or dissertation. The second component focuses on skills and practical experience, including activities such as study visits, workshops, work simulations, guest speaker seminars, and internship opportunities. The final component focuses on professional development, including master classes, skill workshops, and alumni networking events, which help current students build valuable connections for their future careers.

2. Final Capstone Project Options Beyond a Traditional Dissertation

It is well known that master’s students are usually required to complete a dissertation in order to graduate. At Regent’s, in addition to the option of completing a dissertation, there are also other alternatives. One option is the Live Business Project, which gives students the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned to real organizations within the relevant industry. Another option is the New Venture Start-Up Project, which combines both research and practical application. In this project, students use their theoretical knowledge and personal experience to test and develop ideas within the luxury brand market.

3. A Wide Range of Modules

For the core modules, students will study subjects such as Financial Analysis for Managers, Luxury Marketing Management, Law and the Luxury Environment, Strategic Management of a Luxury Business, as well as Research Methods and the Final Capstone Project. In addition, there are interesting elective modules such as Digital Marketing and Analytics in Luxury and Fashion PR and the Fashion Show.

In addition, the university offers workshops throughout the year to help students prepare for job applications, such as CV writing, cover letter preparation, interview preparation, and building a LinkedIn profile.

One of Regent’s unique features is The Hive, a space that brings together both alumni and current students, providing opportunities to connect and develop business ideas.
