I chose to study at SUMAS because it was the only business school which focused on both my passions: fashion and sustainability. My professors were experienced professionals in the industry who walk the talk, sharing their knowledge, as well as teaching us how to apply it. The truly international student body enhanced my learning experience, making all class discussions stimulating.
