What is the course about?
The objective of the course is to transform graduates into competent marketing professionals.
Future managers must have the capacity to be team players, to motivate and lead others, to communicate and negotiate effectively and possess excellent interpersonal skills, and the MSc in Marketing Practice helps to nurture these skills.
The entirely different learning technique, called “Action Learning” is the winning premise of the course whereby students fundamentally learn through doing. In undergraduate degrees you learn about management, here you learn to manage.
The MSc Marketing Practice operates year round as a marketing services provider known commercially as the Marketing Development Programme.
The practical experience gained on this course is like no other, as students, referred to as “Marketing Advisors”, work closely with companies, ranging from start-ups and non-profits, to multinational organisations.

Rebecca Fitzgerald,
“My decision to apply for the MDP was the best decision I have made to date. As a law graduate I was apprehensive that I didn’t have a business background and that I would be out of my depth compared to my classmates and in some situations I was, but that’s the beauty of the MDP. I sometimes refer to it as a life course because you’re constantly being pushed out of your comfort zone which not only develops you professionally but also personally. You’re surrounded by people with different skills, personalities and abilities which is essential in providing students with an open mind, a key trait of a good marketer. You are given opportunities throughout the year to conduct qualitative and quantitative research, manage events and to complete marketing course work to ensure you graduate with well rounded marketing experience. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to grow and develop into a professional that is self-aware, emotionally intelligent and capable.”
