Gain insight into the different activities that make up the marketing mix and other essential communication strategies. This Marketing MSc helps you understand the many challenges and opportunities that organisations face today and provides you with the skills to apply your knowledge to real world marketing challenges. As technology has evolved and consumer needs and wants have changed, organisations once dominant in their industries have faltered (eg, Nokia, Yellow Pages, Kodak or Sony). Now, organisations which were lesser known have prospered and come to dominate the markets they serve (think Google, Tata or Huawei). More recently, even the mighty Apple has come under increased threat from competitors who have arguably understood customer needs better and provided customers with superior value.

Graduates may go on to choose a career in consumer or business to business marketing. You will be equipped to work in a variety of marketing functions including marketing analytics, marketing communications, sales and brand management, in public and private sectors, NGOs, consultancies and across a diverse range of sectors and industries.
