Marketing Management

What Marketing Management offers

The Digital Revolution has had a massive impact on the world we live in. Consumers are flooded with information all day long and are becoming increasingly critical in their demands and expectations. How do you persuade consumers to invest their time and money in your product? How do you make potential customers aware of your products and concepts?  

This Marketing Management degree brings together the latest trends and developments in online and offline marketing. The programme focuses on innovation, the world of the future, and how people work in modern-day marketing departments. You’ll develop your skills in listening closely to your customers and collecting and analysing the correct data and information. You’ll explore the different channels and forms of communication for reaching and connecting with your target audience and then create a strategy that builds the brand and strengthens customer loyalty. 

Marketing Management in practice   

You work on assignments from real companies in each year of the course, collaborating in small groups and drawing on the skills and experience of lecturers and professionals in marketing management. You could be, for instance, conducting international market research or developing marketing and communication strategies. This method of working (Design-Based Education) means you learn to draw on feedback to adapt your ideas and become more flexible, while also developing your teamwork and leadership skills. It means you get hands-on experience of what it’s like to research and understand a company’s business, its brands and its consumers and develop strategies to strengthen communications.
