Studying Masters of fashion management or pursuing master of fashion management which one is correct . When I am writing it into my resume

I don't think they the two words necessarily have the same meanings. At university (in the late 1960s!) I studied chemistry, but then I pursued a career as a Patent Attorney (involved with patents related to chemical issues). The (currently) only answer below suggests that you use "pursuing" because it sounds more formal: I would say that it sounds more pretentious and therefore should be avoided. Finally, the choice may depend on what country you are in: what is more common / preferred in the USA may not be the same as what's best in UK English. (I'm in the UK.)– TrevorDCommented Mar 8, 2019 at 17:48

A topic/subject field is something that you study.
A degree or career is something that you pursue.
Therefore, I think you should say "studying fashion management" or "pursuing a master's degree in fashion management". I would not say "studying masters [...]"
Both are correct, although "pursuing" sounds more formal. It is also more commonly used than "studying." So, if your question is in regards to your resume, go for "pursuing."
Hope I answered your question.

I would suggest 'pursue studies' is more idiomatic than 'pursue' on its own. Commented Mar 9, 2019 at 9:37

That was my answer. "Pursuing Master's in FM." I think "pursuing studies in Master's" won't make much sense.– MikeCommented Mar 10, 2019 at 20:34
