What specialization should I take in high school to study luxury marketing?
To prepare for college, you need to start in high school, starting in 10th or 11th grade. If you want to study luxury marketing, then you need to take specialty courses in high school. To that end, here are three lessons to focus on for your future study project:
- math, even if it’s not your strong point: no matter what luxury specialty you choose later on, you’ll still need a good foundation. During your senior year, this science subject will allow you to apply to a number of courses when the time comes;
- foreign or regional languages: today, the luxury programs are almost all in English. If you want to get into an institution easily, it makes sense to specialize in languages. In addition, it will allow you to consider international studies or exchanges abroad during your studies;
- Economic and social sciences: this subject will allow you to develop your general culture.
To studyluxury marketing, you can choose an ES or STMG bac.

In addition to the three specialties listed above, there are other subjects that can help you get into a luxury program. Even if they are optional, it is always better not to neglect them. They will help you enrich your knowledge and your career. There are, for example, general optional courses in the arts: history of the arts, visual arts, etc.
It should be noted that art is one of France’s specialties. It is thus considered a luxury domain. If you are attracted to this field, this optional course will be beneficial to you. Today, there are several higher education institutions that are already specialized in culture and art. The diplomas are even recognized by the State. The other optional courses to take in high school to study luxury marketing are: artistic workshop, creation and design culture, management and administration.
