The American University of Paris offers several pathways to pursue your academic interest in fashion. As a graduate student, you can complete the fashion track in the MA in Global Communications. As an undergraduate student, you can complete a Minor or Major in Fashion Studies. Frequent guest lectures, talks, visits and field trips provide a variety of practical, real-life accounts and experiences of the fashion world to supplement and apply theoretical and practical knowledge gained in the classroom.

Talks and conferences form an integral part of the learning culture within Fashion Studies at AUP and connect students with a great variety of key professionals and academics.听听

Many AUP students are drawn to fashion, whether in their personal lives, through academic pursuits or career goals. During their time at AUP, students engage in a variety of fashion-related activities that support their aspirations, including clubs, fashion week, conferences, curatorial projects,听 journalism and more.听

Paris is one of the most fantastic playgrounds for fashion. The city offers endless conventional and unconventional sources of inspiration, experience and knowledge. Here is a small selection of museums, galleries, libraries and archives, for more formal explorations.听

At AUP, our students are trained to become professionals aware of the socio-ecological transformation that the fashion sphere is currently facing, and better equipped to contribute to a more sustainable, inclusive and diverse fashion industry.听
