MSc Marketing

A complex market needs complex knowledge

Marketing is evolving rapidly. Some years ago, it was just a technique used so that a product could reach its target public; today it is much more. It reaches beyond the habits of consumers, also exploring their values, perceptions and overall life scenario, so that the entire product design and promotion process is customer-centric and creates lasting relationships of trust between the public, the products used and the companies that produce them. Today companies have a stronger social role and their growth is affected by a number of factors other than sales. In reality, sales are the result of all these factors that include even the attitude of companies as regards social, environmental or even political issues. This complex environment is exactly what a marketing executive with high professional goals is called to manage. This requires equally complex knowledge and skills. The BCA MSc Marketing postgraduate course, conducted with the collaboration of the University of West London, equips its students so that they are able to “build” a name for products and companies, to maintain it despite market fluctuations, to research trends in the public and discover unmet needs that will lead to new successful projects, as well as to utilise digital technology (another branch of the postgraduate course offers specialisation in digital marketing) so that they will soon be able to take over the management of the marketing department of companies and organisations.
