To work in luxury goods, you need a good understanding of how supply and demand work in this sector. The main areas are finance, marketing and communication. You can study at a business school rather than a university, as they are more specialised for this type of job. They will teach you all the important skills you need to work in this field.

Business schools will also help you to develop your career by giving you the opportunity to meet people who are already working in the sector or who would like to do so, in order to develop your network.

A business school is a good start for someone who wants to work in the luxury industry. The skills you learn in these programmes will help you build your career. It’s also an opportunity to learn from experts, which will help you understand how the industry works from different angles. At INSEEC, you’ll have a range of luxury programmes to choose from.

Our school offers you a 1 to 3 year course to specialise in luxury.

With a Bachelor’s degree in luxury, you’ll specialise in all areas of luxury, including top-of-the-range sales systems. After a general course in sales or marketing, you can also specialise with an MBA in Luxury Brand Management (1 or 2 years). This programme is taught entirely in English. Its aim is to give students the skills they need to work in a complex, constantly changing environment! Seminars are led by working luxury professionals and are based on real-life case studies.

It’s a question that many people ask. The answer is yes, it is possible to study luxury at university. However, only a few universities offer this course. A good way to do this is to take a generalist course such as marketing and then specialise through internships (which are rarely compulsory) or a luxury-oriented research course (doctorate or thesis).

INSEEC has a selective admissions process. The admission procedure depends on the programme chosen. But in general, you have to go through a pre-selection process. Then, if you are eligible, you will sit a written test and a motivation interview. During this interview, your English and general knowledge of the luxury sector will be tested: knowledge of the market, brands, players, trends, etc.

Luxury training is an emerging trend in the education market. However, it can be difficult to prepare for an interview on this subject. So, to help you with your interview, you can review your CV and make sure it reflects your qualifications. You should prepare common questions that the interview panel might ask you and prepare answers to these questions. Gather as much information as you can about luxury culture and, above all, your reasons for choosing this course.

This preparation can also help you at your interview for a work placement or sandwich course! In this case, you will also need to find out about the company itself, as well as its codes and corporate culture.
