We believe you learn best when you're actively involved, applying what you learn. Our postgraduate courses immerse you in hands-on experiences, equipping you to lead and innovate in fast-changing environments. Instead of traditional lectures, our classes are dynamic and collaborative, challenging you to take on projects with real clients, industry guests, businesses and brands.
Our curriculum is built around two building blocks:
- Compulsory core modules
- Optional elective modules
Your modules include
1. Core modules
Master the fundamentals of your discipline.
Learning from experts, you'll gain a deep understanding of your core discipline – developing the skills and expertise to make you an accomplished practitioner.
- Learn from academics and industry leaders with years of experience
- Gain practical experience: hands-on workshops, field trips, masterclasses
- Dive into the latest academic thinking, informed by in-house research
- Learn how to define, develop and communicate your professional identity
Through the lens of your subject area, you’ll undertake projects and challenges with leading businesses and brands – building your network, developing essential soft skills and gaining practical strategies for planning your future career. As you approach the end of your course, you'll also work on a final project – a creative pursuit, an academic idea, or a new business you’re ready to bring to life.
2. Elective modules
Broaden your thinking with a secondary specialism.
Elective modules are optional and complement your cores. They help you to see your subject from new angles, challenge your thinking in unexpected ways, and develop a broader outlook and skillset.
You’ll select a mix of:
- Elective modules: from personal branding to cybersecurity and cross-cultural negotiation
- Languages: learn a new language or develop your English skills
>> Explore all elective modules at the tab above. Availability may vary due to timetabling and practical considerations.
This structure ensures you graduate with deep subject knowledge, as well as a well-rounded skillset and real industry experience. With small class sizes and a personal approach to teaching, you'll always receive the attention, support and encouragement needed to achieve your goals and thrive – both at university and beyond.
Please note, not all Special Electives will be offered every term due to timetabling and other constraints.

Personal Branding is about implementing a brand-centric strategic approach towards being in control of your professional image, identity and reputation. The objective is to become more intentional about how you present your uniqueness and value proposition in a cogent and compelling way, that both increases and amplifies your visibility. The aims are to increase your audiences and networks, offer greater opportunities, consolidate your position, validate your reputation, and leverage these in order to command a market premium.

With a focus on a market, where luxury experiences create lasting memories, you will gain a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented by this prestige market. |
| Cross-Cultural Negotiation Skills |
Negotiation is part of everyday life and is something that we practice unconsciously; it is the way we manage our relations with the people around us and deal with their interests and needs that are different from our own. Approaches to negotiation can differ significantly from person to person and from culture to culture. This stems from the expectations and perspectives of prospective clients or partners from highly diversified backgrounds. Indeed, negotiation can be negatively affected by misguided stereotypes. This module gives you the chance to develop and practice the skill of negotiation in a range of cross-cultural contexts. To be successful in any kind of negotiation, you'll need to draw on a wide variety of resources and attributes, including familiarity with diverse cultures, awareness of the perceptual framework that your counterpart is using, behavioral and cognitive flexibility, cultural sensitivity, self-awareness, long-term strategic thinking and effective communication skills. |
