As one of the UK's leading high street retailers, Marks & Spencer sell stylish, high quality, great value clothing and home products, as well as outstanding quality food, responsibly sourced from around 2,000 global suppliers.

GCU has developed a strong reputation and status in the international fashion marketing and retailing sector for developing academic programmes for professionals who are currently employed in the industry, as well as those involved in associated areas such as manufacturing, property development, accountancy and business consultancy.

In 2013, a five-year partnership between GCU British School of Fashion and Marks & Spencer was formed. Working together, we have created an annual scholarship fund to support new talent in the fashion business sector and established an external working design studio at GCU London.
