International Marketing Management
Global markets are characterised by high levels of uncertainty. In addition, the trend of digitalisation is creating both challenges and opportunities for the international management of firms. Thus, the value of data in managerial decision-making is increasing. Data-based strategic decision-making and marketing analytics represent the key competences of today's marketing managers.
In this Master's programme, you will develop expertise in strategic global marketing, digital marketing, marketing analytics, international business and value creation in a rapidly changing world.
The curriculum of this Master's programme covers a wide spectrum of elements supporting the corporate learning experience. For example, courses incorporating field-based experiential learning typically promote company input and involvement, reflectivity, active engagement, the development of problem-solving, information-gathering and analytical skills, oral presentation skills and company feedback. About 80% of the programme's master's theses are based on real-life business problems.
