The Bachelor of Consumer Sciences in Fashion Retail Management at NWU is a four-year Potchefstroom programme that combines fashion knowledge with retail business management skills. Students study fashion buying, merchandising, retail operations, consumer behaviour, and supply chain management, preparing them to operate effectively within South Africa's thriving clothing and textile sector. South Africa's fashion retail industry — anchored by major chains such as Truworths, Foschini, Mr Price, and Woolworths — offers strong career pathways for graduates who understand both the creative and commercial dimensions of fashion. The programme develops graduates capable of driving retail performance, managing product ranges, and interpreting consumer trends.
