This program will provide a comprehensive understanding of luxury markets and consumer behavior, equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in leadership roles across industries such as fashion, hospitality, beauty, and high-end consumer goods.
Academia Cerebra is Europe’s premier academy specializing in luxury fashion, where students learn directly from industry leaders, including two presidents, six CEOs, eleven board directors, and numerous analysts from the luxury and fashion sectors.
