The Bachelor of Fashion Marketing and Enterprise course addresses current trends in the fashion industry; from modern digital marketing techniques, to the future of fashion retail, and everything in between. I chose to study with Torrens due to the flexibility of being able to study a combination of in-person and online classes. This enables me to study a full-time subject load, whilst also working part-time.
