- marketing communications
- digital marketing
- branding theory and practice
- consumer behaviour
- optimising marketing performance.
As your studies progress, you’ll have the option to specialise in different areas of marketing that interest you most, and develop your knowledge and skill set.

- international strategy
- organisational behaviour
- operations
- entrepreneurship
- data analytics
- human resource management
- accounting.
You’ll learn through a combination of lectures, seminars, practical workshops, and self-guided study. This will provide the opportunity to discuss subject materials in an in-depth way with your lecturers and fellow students.
