About This Course

Price, supply chain, margin.

Price, supply chain, margin. This course trains the people who run fashion businesses, not just join them, and is dual accredited with the Chartered Management Institute.
The CMI dual accreditation is real. Students who complete the degree also earn a CMI management qualification — a professional credential that sits alongside the BSc and is recognised by employers in fashion, retail, and luxury. The Foundation Year bridges school-level study and degree-level business thinking, with no requirement for a creative portfolio.

CMI Dual Accreditation

The Chartered Management Institute is the UK's leading body for management and leadership. CMI dual accreditation means JCA graduates leave with both a BSc (Hons) and a CMI Level 5 management qualification — two credentials from one degree.

Entry Routes

Foundation Year entry: 32+ UCAS points or equivalent. No creative portfolio required — suits business, humanities or mixed backgrounds.
