For Hong Kong-based marketing professional Kenie, studying an online MA in Fashion Marketing at London College of Fashion (LCF) offered a way to pursue her fashion ambitions without putting her career or family life on hold. We spoke with Kenie about how part-time online learning gave her flexibility, focus, and global connections.
I’ve been working in marketing for about 8 to 10 years, and over the past 5 or 6 years, I started working with fashion clients. I wanted to understand the fashion industry more deeply and explore whether I should focus specifically on fashion marketing, but I wasn’t sure how to make that happen alongside my full-time job and family.
The flexibility that came with online learning was everything. Because I work during the day in Asia, being able to study in the evening and at my own pace made it possible. It meant I didn’t have to move my whole family or take a break from my job. I could balance everything - work, study, and life.
The online community at LCF felt like a global village. I got to collaborate with classmates from all over the world and we still stay in touch.
Definitely my research skills. I studied Fine Art for my undergraduate degree, so I was very familiar with the art studio environment, but I had almost no academic research knowledge or experience. The course taught me how to design surveys, collect and analyse data, and turn insights into papers or strategies. Those skills have given me a much broader and more holistic point of view.
