Students participating in the BIP Sustainable Fashion work on the theme of sustainability in the fashion industry. The programme combines online learning, field visits, expert lectures and real-life business cases.
Students work in international and cross-cultural teams on challenges related to circular fashion, sustainable business models and communication. During the programme, they explore topics such as repair culture, rental services, second-life fashion, sustainable marketing, CSRD-related transparency and the Responsible 9 Framework.
The programme aims to strengthen students’ understanding of sustainability in a global business context, while developing their collaboration, communication, research and problem-solving skills.
