Programme structure
AMFI offers three graduation tracks: Fashion & Management, Fashion & Design, and Fashion & Branding. These focus on the key areas of a fashion company. What makes AMFI unique is that you’ll collaborate with students from other tracks. This way, you learn how all parts of a fashion business work together, giving you a broad understanding of the fashion world.

In the first half of your first year, you'll follow the same program as all other students. During this time, you'll learn how the fashion world works and operates. This semester also helps you develop a mindset that is both entrepreneurial and responsible, preparing you well for the future. After this initial semester, you'll spend the next two years diving deeper into specific topics and skills needed in the fashion industry.
