Is there anyone familiar with luxury fashion industry that can tell me the main differences in getting an MBA or an MSc in Luxury Brand Management? What jobs would the MBA vs. the MSc graduate receive? Would one have more opportunities than the other in finding a job after graduating.

Does anyone know much about the Istituto Marangoni Masters in Fashion & Luxury Brand Management in London? Upon graduation the student receives a Masters degree from Manchester University. This is the top fashion school in Italy but I am not sure how well known it is globally.

I am considering the International University in Monaco as well as Marangoni and I am a bit stuck between the two and now even more confused if I should do an MBA or just go for the Masters degree.

If anyone has some advice it would be great.

Thank you.

There's a lot of discussion here on luxury. Use the search tools to review it.

Generally, MBAs are for people with work experience and the MSc is for people without it.

The Marangoni degree is *not* from the University of Manchester: that's a top, world-class university. Manchester Metropolitan University, the former polytechnic, issues the Marangoni degree.

Do any of the Monaco programs over that Marangoni one.

Also, some schools you should look at if you're interested in the luxury space:

SDA Bocconi
ESSEC
Bologna / Alma
HEC Paris

The programs that have hands-on components like internships in top luxury are generally more valuable. Luxury employers (especially in developing economies like China, where the markets are red hot) are looking for people who have experience in the established luxury markets.
