Purpose of the Program

Marketing is critical for success in competitive, dynamic and increasingly complex business environments. People with marketing skills and knowledge are important to businesses, helping them work out how to create, capture, communicate, and sustain customer value, and promote continued growth and competitiveness. This program addresses the need for high-level marketing expertise particularly for those whose career development and interests are leading into marketing, product and brand management.

The Master of Marketing draws on contemporary practices, strategic thinking, branding, design, creativity and innovation to build your marketing knowledge, skills and capabilities.  As a graduate, you will not only develop discipline specific knowledge and skills, but also learn to draw connections across different fields of knowledge and relate this knowledge to complex real world situations. Using integrated theory and real world application, this degree will expose you to a range of interactive learning experiences such as seminars, guest presentations, strategic cases, social media technologies and e-learning, and applied industry projects.

A capstone experience will be provided in MKTG1215 Strategic Marketing which will integrate and synthesise a range of knowledge and skills gained in the program and the application of these in discipline related real-world scenarios. You will have the opportunity to acquire the critical knowledge and capabilities to help organisations along the path to success.

The core research course of this program is MKTG1215 Strategic Marketing. This course is designed to develop your knowledge of research principles and methods and how to apply them within the contemporary business environment. You will have the opportunity to conduct a research project/proposal and further develop your skills in research methodology.

This program is delivered on-campus.
