Get a degree in “luxury”

Think you know your fashion? Consider yourself a connoisseur of haute couture? Well, now you can put it to use, and get yourself a degree in it. The University of Monaco is offering an MLUX – which translates to a Masters Degree in Luxury.

The university has teamed up with only the best, including the likes of Gucci and Ralph Lauren for case studies and internships.

The University of Monaco website described the program, saying, "It focuses on how the luxury industry interacts with the economic, cultural and technological environments of the twenty-first century, the characteristics of today's luxury consumer and the resonances generated by high-end goods and services."

The official degree is a Masters of Science in Luxury Retail Management (they've already had an MLUX for Luxury Goods and Services), and it's the real deal. The 10-month, 60-credit degree limited to 35 students is completed in three 12-week terms, conducted in English, and costs around $25, 500 per academic year plus fees. That, and whatever it costs to then live in Monaco or a nearby town in the South of France for the duration of your education.

As for the students enrolling? You can guarantee that campus life for these rich kids won’t include cheap beer and second-hand textbooks.
