Manchester Fashion Institute - Winner 2020
I’m delighted not just for me, but for my team. Together we have shaped a course that equips graduates with academic skills and commercial know-how to solving real-world problems. Its strength is its view into the future at what businesses need today and in five years’ time when learners graduate and are working in the fashion industry.
