Project Management

Fashion and Textile Design and Production
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The CU's field of action is essentially focused on managing the fashion process, more specifically on structuring collections and the entire process from the acquisition of raw materials to the end customer in different business models. It covers sourcing, creation, licensing and sales. Its intervention in the management of processes and, inherently, the brand, places the CU at a high level of relevance, since it is in this CU that students will acquire knowledge about the processes, models and working methods that they will apply in the workplace. It is of great importance that students understand the importance of management and understand how, where and when this knowledge can be applied. An appreciation of the industry and brands and how they work will complement students' understanding of the process from the moment they choose the fibers till the product is sold.
