Hi, I want to apply for the Master of Science in Fashion Management...
Additional information
I would like to apply as soon as I finish my Bachelor in International Business which means I will not have any work experience. Is that an issue at all?

Hi Grace! We don't require any work experience for this program, so you are perfectly eligible!

You can even apply now (during your last semester I assume), because Admissions close on May 31st for non-European students and on June 14th for European students - I am not sure when you will graduate!

Thank you! Actually, because I am studying in Australia I do not graduate until November, which means I intend to apply for the 2022 September intake.

My other question is: if we do not have a GMAT score, are our chances of being accepted much lower? do you recommend taking the test to increase our chances of being accepted?

No, the GMAT score doesn't influence your admission, it is only a bonus for scholarship purposes

Most students apply without a GMAT score, it is fine!

I thought of one last question if you have time: what is the percentage of applicants who are accepted, and is it very competitive? also, what are some of the main things that are sought after in an applicant, especially when for example I don't have experience in the fashion/luxury industry.

I cannot give you a precise percentage, as it changes every year :) What I can tell you is what we are looking for: international profiles, with a true passion for the fashion industry and looking to expand their knowledge in this field. We are also looking for students who are interested in the management side of fashion, because it is not a design/creative program where you would learn how to create fashion items :) We made this program available for all backgrounds, so it doesn't matter if you have 0 experience in business or fashion industry !

Most students that actually apply come from backgrounds such as engineering, or languages studies... As long as they are interested in learning more about the Fashion industry, they are eligible!
