Bachelor of Fashion and Global Brand Management

This degree runs a slightly leaner elective load than most ICMS undergraduate degrees (26 subjects total, split across 12 core business units, 6 fashion specialisation subjects, 6 electives and 2 Work Integrated Learning subjects worth up to 600 placement hours), built specifically to prepare students for brand, retail and visual merchandising roles across the global fashion and luxury sector rather than design or garment construction, which ICMS explicitly doesn't teach here. It's a business degree with a fashion industry lens, not a fashion design degree with business units bolted on, and that distinction matters for anyone comparing it against TAFE or fashion-college design programs.

Specialisation content covers how fashion and luxury brands are built and managed, visual merchandising strategy, and the retailing and marketing techniques used across both physical stores and the now-dominant online fashion retail channel. Entry requires a Band 2 in English and one other subject at HSC level (Mathematics Standard 2, Business Studies, Economics among the accepted options), a relatively accessible bar reflecting the degree's practical, industry-facing positioning rather than an academically selective one.

Graduates go on to brand management, visual merchandising, retail buying and marketing roles; the degree's own careers material name-checks boutique brand management and online fashion retail marketing specifically as target outcomes.
