Presentation

The Postgraduate Programme in the Creation and Management of Fashion Companies (DGEM) responds to the needs generated by the competitive market that is the fashion industry today, which requires professionals trained to specifically manage this type of company, who also must be trained in the functioning of the complex fashion system as a consequence.

Fashion is above all a business, which shifts billions of euros worldwide and is increasingly global thanks to the Internet. In Spain alone, it moves around EUR 17.5 billion per year, generating numerous jobs and exporting a significant portion of its production.

Fashion is one of today's great economic forces, on an international scale, creating business in areas such as design, production, distribution, marketing, retail, advertising, the press, communication and consulting.

This postgraduate programme offers the opportunity to use university studies as a way to professionalise a sector with a great deal of specific importance but for which there is little training, providing suitable preparation for anyone wishing to work as a professional in the business world of the fashion sector.

Objectives

  • To provide professionals with specific knowledge applied to a particular system (the fashion system), in terms of both its functioning and its market.
