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.)

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.

Therefore, I think you should say "studying fashion management" or "pursuing a master's degree in fashion management". I would not say "studying masters [...]"
