Program description
The Global Master of Luxury Management (GMLux) degree is offered in collaboration with the internationally renowned MIP Politecnico di Milano in Italy. This degree will provide you with an international perspective on the luxury products and services sector, and unlike other universities' luxury brand management programs, it will involve study visits to some of the world's most iconic luxury shopping destinations.
You'll be ready to establish an iconic luxury brand, grasp the luxury retail experience, market a significant luxury shopping location, and create one-of-a-kind and memorable experiences. You will be able to begin your master's degree in Dubai, then go to Milan, Geneva, and Paris to experience major luxury shopping capitals and attend factory tours, presentations at luxury brand headquarters, visits to foundations and exhibitions, and other activities.
Upon completion of this master's degree, you will receive a dual certificate from UOWD and MIP Politecnico di Milano, Italy. If you want to be the next Luxury Brand Manager, Fashion Retail Buyer, Branding and PR Specialist, Head of Brand, Creative Director, Brand Ambassador, Visual Merchandising Executive, or something else, the GMLux program is for you.
