A master’s degree dedicated to training professionals in the luxury sector has received the Prada stamp of approval.

Italy's MIP Politecnico di Milano and France’s Neoma Business School have announced that the Prada Group has become a partner of their International Master in Luxury Management (IMLux), a double-degree course taught in Reims, France, and Milan, Italy.

Aimed at students who wish to acquire the skills necessary to occupy key posts in companies in the luxury sector, with Prada’s involvement, the course will benefit from top-range support from the luxury sector.

Prada said its contribution will take the form of workshops, site visits and panel talks with speakers from its own team of experts.

“We are well aware of the great value we need to place upon education in today’s world, and we are delighted to announce that the Prada Group is joining the International Master in Luxury Management with great enthusiasm,” said Stefano Rastrelli, HR director of the Prada Group.

“Thanks to this strong tie to companies, students have the chance to work on real projects and to face challenges that require real solutions. This, along with IMLux integrated approach that provides an extensive overview of the entire value creation chain, makes this programme unique,” added Andrea Sianesi, Dean of MIP Politecnico di Milano. 

Participating students will have to gold a Bac+4, and will receive a double degree: an MA from MIP Politecnico di Milano and an MS from Neoma Business School. 

Explaining the course’s role in training luxury professionals, Delphine Manceau, dean of Neoma Business School said: “With this exceptional course, operated in collaboration with the MIP Politecnico di Milano, we have a clear ambition: to offer up-to-the-minute sectoral training, in particular via complete immersion in the luxury environment. To this end, we work very closely with companies, which is one of the principal special features of this Master.”
