fashion buying and merchandising

Hi, I’ve got an offer for fashion buying and merchandising at LCF, but I originally applied for fashion marketing. Does anyone know anything about this course and what it’s like? Thanks :smile:

This course is a lot more based on statistics and data analysis than a typical fashion marketing course. If it is specifically the marketing of fashion you are interested in, then it may not be the right fit for you, however it does offer a blend between the marketing of fashion and the analysis that goes into understanding what sells, why is sells, and what marketing sells it.

As stated on the LCF course page:
"This course focuses on Buying, Merchandising and associated roles, and suits students that have not only a passion for fashion but also flair for both numbers and product. It is fully aligned with current industry practices, with a focus on sustainability, digitalisation and data analytics.
[start]Critically, this sustainability focus underpins the course and is relevant to all units of study, referencing the UN sustainable development goals throughout to demonstrate commitment to making the planet a better place. This in turn means that Buying and Merchandising students are ready to think more consciously, and gives them the opportunity to make a real difference."[/start]

I hope this helps. Did you apply to any other fashion courses? and well done on the offer!! ☺️
