Sashay into the unique fashion classroom of London! Designed for students from all academic backgrounds, CIEE’s Fashion and Business program is the perfect chance to earn credits toward your degree while exploring different aspects of fashion.
When class is in session, you'll join the Integrated Study Abroad program at CIEE’s esteemed partner institution, the London College of Fashion (University of the Arts, London). There, you’ll choose from a wide array of courses with one of the following focuses: Fashion Business, Fashion Product Design, and Fashion, Media, & Communication. Additionally, this program includes an exciting five-day trip to Paris – a city home to haute couture – to introduce you to France’s renowned fashion districts, popular flea markets, and world-class cuisine. During this excursion, you’ll come to understand why Paris is recognized globally as the capital of fashion and how Parisian fashion has influenced London – and the rest of the world.
