Marketing (MA)

INTRODUCTION
Our MA in Marketing focuses on the development of new skills to improve your understanding of and help you implement innovative and effective marketing strategies, in order to compete in an increasingly and demanding competitive market. Our course is exclusively online and has been developed to prompt students to develop critical and theoretical skills through the several evaluation methods used, which include an academic and practical component, such as real case studies and applied projects.

LEARNING SKILLS
Students will adopt an integrated vision of the marketing management process and highlight opportunities for professional development. We will show how important this vision and the respective approaches for management strategies are, by creating plans for a wide range of organisations or companies. Our study plan also promotes the use of theory and practice of existing research to develop strategic thinking and practices of marketing management. This will provide LSDM’s students with the advanced, specialised, academic and entrepreneurial knowledge, which will allow them to pursue an established career in the future.
