Course content
Our MSc International Marketing will allow you to develop insights into marketing decision-making in a global cultural context. You will gain in-depth knowledge of marketing practice through modules such as Consumer Behaviour and Brand Management, alongside a comprehensive understanding of the global context through the International Business Ethics and International Marketing modules.
With reference to research findings to provide additional insights into the subject matter, the course enables you to link theory and practice, to identify ethical practice and to engage in critical thinking and problem-focused decision-making that can be applied in a general international business setting.
