MSc
Summary
Our Masters in Marketing gives you the opportunity to gain a theoretical and practical understanding of marketing, and its role within organisations. You’ll learn about the practice and theory of modern marketing, as well as current business trends in the areas of brand identity creation, multi-channel marketing and sport marketing.
The MSc Marketing course was one of the first in the country to be accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). CIM accreditation means that when you successfully complete the course, it's easier to gain a Professional Diploma in Marketing. Two of the Diploma modules will be waived and to gain the CIM Professional Diploma you will only need to undertake two CIM modules rather than the usual four, giving you a competitive edge in your career.
Our research-led teaching combined with a focus on practical applications is a key strength of this course. In addition to consistently engaging in academic literature through weekly readings and module assessments, the course gives you a number of opportunities to apply concepts, theories and frameworks to practical aspects. You will collaborate during your studies with a wide variety of organisations including not-for-profit, third sector and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

Summary
The course provides students with an understanding of the concepts and systems underlying marketing practice and allows students to develop their skills of diagnosis and implementation in marketing management and research processes. On completion students will be able to: Nurture and consolidate a customer-focused management approach in a variety of different market settings, organisation types and policy situations; design, plan, implement and evaluate research-based marketing strategies; gain exposure to ethical issues that arise from marketing activities and to understand the impact marketing has on society in general; conduct research into contemporary marketing practice. Students will graduate with a broad understanding of the operational areas of marketing and their functions within organisations. During the taught modules, students explore a comprehensive range of issues faced by marketing managers and executives, and compare different approaches to understanding this important area of modern business. A particular strength of the MSc Marketing is that it promotes understanding and critical strategic analysis of consumers and organisations from an international perspective. Ethical decision-making and the ability to identify potential ethical issues are highlighted. Students are introduced to techniques and tools to better understand themselves as well as core target markets. As part of learning, students will be given the opportunity to apply their new evidence based in-sights to real world marketing projects for industry players.
