Take your knowledge to a strategic level

Leading employers worldwide increasingly expect their marketing staff – experienced professionals and new recruits alike – to have a specialist degree such as an MSc.

Our course is designed to give you a thorough understanding of the core concepts of marketing and to practise these in safe but realistic business and marketing situations.

Building on the broad contextual aspects of marketing, you’ll focus on how to create and implement strategic marketing plans and how to manage brands. Our emphasis is on fostering your creativity, helping you to address marketing challenges in new and original ways. Every module has an international dimension to enhance your global perspectives too. We also aim to develop your practical and creative skills beyond the operational and functional so that you gain a more strategic level of understanding.

Influential partnerships

Our MSc Marketing Management is designed and delivered in collaboration with highly respected companies and organisations operating at local, national and international levels. The partnerships span many areas from retail to the not-for-profit sector.

You’ll meet industry experts from our thriving professional and business networks, many of whom contribute thought-provoking guest lectures and masterclasses. You’ll hear first hand what happens at the sharp end of the marketing business across vastly different organisational cultures.

You can also extend your professional contacts through networking at showcase events such as prestige conferences and meetings of the University’s own Network of Entrepreneurs. Our annual Marketing Festival – a rare opportunity to hear from some of the country’s leading marketers – sets the scene for the future of the profession.

Our graduates regularly return to take part in these events and share their career experiences. Their feedback also helps shape the continuing development of the course.
