Marketing at University of Stirling - UCAS

Course summary

Our Masters in Marketing gives you the opportunity to gain a theoretical and practical understanding of marketing, and its role within organisations. You’ll learn about the practice and theory of modern marketing, as well as current business trends in the areas of brand identity creation, multi-channel marketing and sport marketing. The MSc Marketing course was one of the first in the country to be accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). CIM accreditation means that when you successfully complete the course, it's easier to gain a Professional Diploma in Marketing. Two of the Diploma modules will be waived and to gain the CIM Professional Diploma you will only need to undertake two CIM modules rather than the usual four, giving you a competitive edge in your career. Our research-led teaching combined with a focus on practical applications is a key strength of this course. In addition to consistently engaging in academic literature through weekly readings and module assessments, the course gives you a number of opportunities to apply concepts, theories and frameworks to practical aspects. You will collaborate during your studies with a wide variety of organisations including not-for-profit, third sector and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

Modules

Semester 1: Responsible marketing management; strategic marketing practice; marketing communications and the consumer. Semester 2: Marketing management applications; contemporary issues in marketing.

Assessment method

Much of the assessment is continuous and may include: research reports; essays; briefings; management reports; case analyses; debates; literature reviews; marketing communication plans; poster sessions and presentations. Assessed work is often conducted in groups, as developing teamwork and communication skills are seen as important.
