Programme Introduction

Marketing is essential for any business or organization that wants to succeed in the marketplace. Marketing combines creativity with analytical skills to understand how the customers would react, and how to reach out to them. Marketing is fundamentally about promoting the value of a thing/person to one or more people. It draws on the knowledge of psychology, anthropology, and even politics to anticipate what customers will need and generate the leads so that the sales team can follow up on them to close the deal.

Our Marketing degree program adopts a case-based perspective, focusing on the applicability of theory to everyday marketing activities, and prepares students for a marketing career.
