The opportunity

University of the Arts London (UAL) is seeking an experienced Lecturer in Fashion Marketing and Sustainability to join the MA Fashion Marketing and Sustainability course at London College of Fashion (LCF). This dynamic course sits within the Marketing & Branding Programme and is based in our Fashion Business School. The course helps postgraduate students to develop the analytical, communication and entrepreneurial skills they need to positively influence communities and the environment through fashion marketing.
