Purpose:
To create a platform which will provide an opportunity to those with some academic marketing knowledge with expanded insight, understanding and practical skills about marketing – from idea conceptualisation to the development, launch and maintenance of marketing plans and programmes for contributing to the achievement of the strategic business objectives of the organisation. This is, therefore, a qualification aimed at people entering the business or professional marketing environment, people at a specific developmental stage in their careers, or at the phase in their personal development when they already have suitable knowledge, training and qualifications in their specific field of knowledge but lacking an in-depth marketing background. The Programme provides a practical opportunity for students to ensure a personal competitive advantage while broadening their career prospects.
