Details

These courses are designed for marketing practitioners to freshen or further their skills, or for those seeking a career change to this field.

You will develop marketing management skills as they apply to a business with a practical focus on the identification of opportunities and threats in domestic and international industries; the development of marketing strategies, tactics and plans for such opportunities and threats; the ability to implement and monitor marketing strategies, tactics and plans and their effect on the organisation; and the consideration of new theories, concepts and techniques in marketing management.

Career outcomes

Marketing professionals are involved in the promotion and/or sales of an organisation’s goods or services. This includes the marketing of existing product lines, the development of new products to fulfil consumer needs, or the development of new markets for new or existing products.

Marketing is a vital component of businesses in all industries, as well as in government and nonprofit organisations. This course can lead to strategic roles such as business development managers, brand or product managers, marketing consultants or marketing managers.

International double masters program

If you would like to attain two internationally accredited masters in about the same time that it would normally take you to get one, you may consider our international double masters program. In an exchange study, you complete part of your degree at one of two leading institutions in Europe. Through cross-crediting of your course content, you are able to obtain the full degrees from both institutions – and you may be able to complete the double degree in the same time that it would take you to complete your QUT Master of Business program.
