Marketing


Overview

Marketing is key to the success of all businesses. If you are creative and enjoy solving problems, working with data, and connecting with people, a marketing degree is perfect for you.    

Marketing is a practical and fun field that balances analytical skills with creativity. With core courses in marketing strategy, marketing research and consumer behaviour and a range of electives to delve deeper into your areas of interest, you’ll be able to apply your knowledge and creativity to generate practical, relevant and effective marketing plans.
