The programme develops students’ essential marketing skill-base in areas such as research, creative problem-solving, strategic planning, critical thinking, teamwork, client management and effective communications. Students are linked to a strong global alumni community providing them with the opportunity to network and seek mentorship, equipping them with tools to build their own career path once leaving the programme.
The programme is suited to graduates from all disciplines, both business and non-business, who are interested in pursuing a career in business or marketing and who want to kick start their career with real work experience. The course transforms students into competent marketing professionals, through the development of both professional and personal skills, which can be taken into any industry.
