Bachelor in Marketing (BComm)

During each semester you attend lectures, case-study workshops and group projects that translate marketing concepts into practice. Core courses such as Introduction to Marketing, Consumer Behaviour and Digital Marketing build analytical and creative skills, while seminars on Business Analytics and Data Visualization teach you to interpret market data with professional software. The mandatory co-op component places you in three paid work terms. In these placements you rotate through tasks like market research, campaign planning, brand management or public relations, gaining hands-on experience in agencies, corporate marketing departments or non-profit organisations. Regular feedback sessions help you refine strategies and present results.

Graduates step into roles such as Advertising Manager, Brand Manager, Marketing Research Manager or Public Relations Specialist across sectors including entertainment, fashion, healthcare, travel and retail. Employers range from multinational corporations and advertising agencies to NGOs and start-ups, and alumni often advance quickly to senior positions. The programme also provides a solid foundation for graduate study in marketing or business administration.
