You can now do a university course majoring in Gucci

Calling all Alessandro Michele fans, this one is for you.

Gucci has partnered with one of Italy’s most prestigious fashion schools, Polimoda, for a degree in all things sequins, bold accessories and librarian-esque runway looks. Well, almost.

The next best thing to Michele studies? (Which isn't technically available yet.) A Gucci-approved fashion retail management masters degree will be available from April 2018.

The course is designed to run for nine months, the degree is in partnership with Kering, the French parent company of Gucci, and will teach everything from finance to merchandising and marketing. Select graduates will also be offered internships or jobs throughout the Kering network, The Business of Fashion reports.

“Retail is the heart of this business,” president and chief executive of Gucci, Marco Bizzarri, told BoF. “In the last two and a half years at Gucci we have clearly demonstrated that a new, contemporary and joyful retail environment… really makes the difference.”

A degree in maximalism, maybe not, but learning how to survive in a tough market — priceless.

Interested in nine months in Italy? Interested candidates can apply via Polimoda.
