Basic information
Today’s business environment is constantly evolving. Globalisation, new information technologies and new distribution channels are changing the way we look at marketing and how we sell. To compete in a global environment, we need to gain access to new markets, deal with new competitors and, most importantly, approach sales and marketing management from a more innovative perspective.
Consumers are becoming more demanding and have access to information to help them make decisions. To meet their demands, companies need well-prepared professionals with up-to-date marketing education, the ability to cater to an ever-changing marketplace and the ability to take full advantage of new technologies.
Marketing is therefore undoubtedly the foundation of a functioning business. It is an organizational philosophy and a set of guiding principles for interacting with customers, competitors, co-workers and the environment. Marketing involves planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and distribution of ideas, goods and services. It begins with identifying and measuring consumer needs and wants, assessing the competitive environment, selecting the most appropriate target customer groups, and developing a marketing strategy and program to implement offerings that will satisfy consumer needs better than competitors.

Programme subjects
Marketing management is a subject that deals with various concepts of marketing strategies, procedures and new techniques that change depending on the requirements and needs of consumers. The course helps students become familiar with the marketing process, which includes planning, pricing and promotion of goods and services in the target market and focuses on activities such as promotional techniques, cost reduction mechanisms, as well as creating and retaining customers through careful analysis and forecasting on the market.
This course examines the opportunities and challenges associated with global marketing. The influence of cultural, economic, political and technological environments in different countries on marketing is considered. The relationship between global marketing and global business strategy will be discussed. Methods of analyzing customers and competitors on a global scale will be discussed. Strategies and tactics for developing each of the four P's internationally and globally will be examined, including product, service and brand policy development, advertising, promotion and communication plans, distribution channels and pricing policies in a global context. Approaches to decision-making about the degree of globalization and localization of marketing will be explored. We will also look at key aspects of marketing both globally and in each of the major regions of the world.
Marketing communication is a key aspect of a company's overall marketing mission and a significant factor in determining its success in the marketplace. The goal of marketing communications is to convey meaning to the target audience and build a strong brand. This course provides students with the opportunity to analyze, design and evaluate various communication and promotional decisions. Specific topics include basic marketing communication decisions, creative brief, message/copy writing, communication strategies, and media strategies. To explore these issues, this course provides relevant and up-to-date theories, concepts, techniques, and models in marketing communications and promotion.
The main aim of the course is to provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to understand and operate in the field of marketing. Emphasis is placed on the topics of marketing environment, consumer behaviour, market segmentation, targeting, positioning, product, service, price, place, promotion, advertising and strategic marketing integrated with the topics of ethics and social responsibility in relation to marketing. All of this will be integrated with digital marketing concepts, allowing a focus on the continuous process of change and renewal of marketing. One of the goals is how to market oneself, starting with good presentation skills and a deeper understanding of how to properly handle emotions in different situations.
The aim of the course is to focus on key brand and product management topics that will assist current and future marketing managers in their strategic decision-making abilities. Topics have been selected based on the responsibilities of marketing managers, the latest industry trends and academic research. The study draws on existing models of communication and consumer behavior to explore many of the issues facing the modern brand manager. Key topics include: brand evaluation, brands and their relationships with consumers, how to build brand equity, and the tools needed to manage equity over time.
The aim of the course is to equip students with knowledge and skills that will enable them to understand and analyze brand management and branding from the perspective of companies and consumers. This goal will be achieved through a careful analysis of key concepts related to this subject: corporate perspective; brand development and brand architecture; definition and role of marketing mix; integration of marketing communication and brand management; consumer brand perception; etc.
This course focuses on understanding and predicting consumer behavior by integrating theories from psychology, sociology, anthropology, and economics. Emphasis will be placed on how behavior is shaped by internal and external influences. Consumer decision making is often complex and far from rational. Topics discussed include the importance of consumer behavior and research; internal influences such as motivation and commitment, personality, self-concept, lifestyle, perception, learning, attitude formation and change, and communication; external influences such as culture, subculture, social class, reference groups and family, and the diffusion of innovation; and consumer decision making.
The course deals with elements of advertising and sales promotion in the business environment. Topics include advertising appeals and sales promotion, media selection, the use of advertising and sales promotion as a marketing tool, and ways to test effectiveness. After completing it, students should be able to demonstrate understanding of the concepts through their application and will be able to explain the use of advertising and sales promotion as a marketing tool, describe advertising and promotional appeals, explain appropriate media selection and discuss ways to test the effectiveness of advertising and sales promotion.
The importance of a strategic social media presence for modern businesses cannot be underestimated. Social media has evolved to serve as the glue that binds and enhances digital marketing strategy and the overall brand experience for consumers, from creating a place to connect directly with consumers to providing insights into purchase behavior to boosting SEO rankings. This course will teach you how to work with different social media platforms and their tools and techniques, and aims to make you an experienced social media marketer using effective and proven methodologies. Upon successful completion, you will be able to formulate a social media marketing strategy that meets your needs, execute effective social media marketing campaigns, influence brand awareness by leveraging multiple social media channels, and build relationships with and encourage engagement with your target audience.
This course is designed as an introduction to the world of digital and online advertising. It will cover all the different types of digital ad units, advertising partners, process, buying and more. It's ideal for anyone interested in advertising their business online, looking for a job in digital media planning, interested in how big brands decide to place ads online, students focused on marketing and advertising, or those who are generally interested in how the ads you see online are created and served.
