Career Opportunities
Marketing is one of the key disciplines in business for both companies and non-profit organizations, and interest in marketing is growing around the world. Marketing know-how is in particular demand in Asia, as the region’s major economies, once seen as primarily manufacturing bases, ascend the value chain and aspire to develop their own brands.
MScMARK graduates are equipped to become sought-after marketing professionals capable of making important contributions to their firms’ marketing activities. A broad range of career opportunities exists within consulting, advertising, and marketing research agencies. Graduates may even wish to leverage their sophisticated marketing skills to establish their own marketing enterprises.
