A word from the Head of Specialization
Valérie HAIE
Head of Specialization
"The international aspect to this program and the fact it is taught entirely in English means that students are plunged totally into the current spirit of the luxury industry, where it is now necessary to be fully open to the world around us. There is no better place than Paris to learn the fundamentals of luxury. Being in such close proximity to French luxury brands provides the best possible means to understanding how they work in reality and where their strengths lie."

Program description
- This specialization is geared towards studying the main segments of the luxury market, the challenges they face, and their economic development.
- Emphasis is placed upon social trends, especially with the emergence of Gen Z, and the initial foundations of understanding the various activities within the luxury industry are laid.
- Managing a luxury brand is a difficult task, one that requires an extremely delicate balance between creativity and design, as well as significant work on brand image and corporate targets.
- Faced with the current explosion of digitalization and the increasing importance given to sustainable development, the communication and marketing of luxury products has become more multiform, and students must learn to align themselves with these new objectives.
- Assimilating these new challenges underpins the various subject areas covered by the program, as well as the teaching approach employed.
Total class time for the year is 539hrs.

Student testimonials
This training program opened many doors to me, providing the opportunity to meet with many people from the luxury sector. I found myself working with top faculty in a multicultural environment. Creative in-class projects and visiting Paris’ luxury boutiques helped get me out of my comfort zone, which was the best possible way to learn.
This has been a truly rewarding experience. I can’t recommend this international program highly enough to students coming from abroad.
