Marketing & International Management

Introduction

At the School of Marketing & International Management, we offer education in the fields of marketing and international business. Our educational programmes balance areas of specialisation with general business knowledge and link theory to professional life through the use of real-life case studies and assignments. We also aim to contribute to our students’ personal growth, helping them to develop the skills required for a range of challenging business situations. With training on practical communication and computer skills as well as team-building sessions and internships, our students develop their skills in areas such as problem solving, the ability to adapt to changes and the ability to work as part of a team.

Projects are designed to help our students apply their theoretical knowledge to practical situations. An internship, preferably abroad, is a compulsory component of all of our regular degree programmes, and the dissertation in the final year should examine, analyse and provide solutions to a real-life strategic business problem. With students of more than 20 different nationalities, our School provides a truly inter-cultural learning environment.

The following programmes are taught in English:

• International Business & Management Studies (IBMS, BBA) 
• Final Year of Marketing (Bachelor of Commerce) 

Our network

We have exchange partnerships with over 55 universities around the world. Students from these partner universities can study at our School and are exempt from paying tuition fees. We also have exchange of teaching staff, thus encouraging the sharing of expertise. We are constantly on the lookout for possibilities to expand our international network, in order to provide our students with the best possible opportunities for truly internationally-oriented educational programmes.
