It will combine teaching with individual and group mentoring to help you execute your plan. The module also promotes engagement with internal and external workshops, lectures, experiential learning opportunities and extra-curricular events to help you expand your knowledge and skills, whilst challenging your attitudes and behaviours. You will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of continuous professional development from the perspective of professional bodies, such as the CMI, CIM, APM and SPE.

Customer Insight through Marketing Research (10 credits)

The aim of this module is to develop your skills as an effective decision maker - organisations require insight to make effective decisions and effective marketing research has been an integral part of how decision makers in organisations understand consumers and market dynamics; and as an effective academic - philosophical debates and methodological issues will be explored as a foundation to understanding marketing research.

Professional development

Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM)

The fact that the fundamentals of marketing are reinforced in the course means that you will also be awarded a Level 4 Certificate in Professional Marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) following the successful completion of an assessment. The suite of MScs in Marketing has been mapped to the CIM curriculum which is a reflection of course currency and relevance to the marketing profession. Following the course, you will also have exemptions from the Level 6 Diploma in Professional Marketing, typically completed during your first substantive marketing role. The CIM is an industry-recognised, professional body that employers know about. Holding either or both qualifications will allow graduates of the MSc Marketing to stand out in a competitive job market.

So, you won’t just be studying for an MSc Marketing but a CIM Certificate in Professional Marketing as well. As a dual award, the MSc Marketing represents excellent added value.

As a student on this course you will also be able to access free membership to the CIM. Membership gives you access to a range of benefits including CPD opportunities, webinars, networking events and online journals to name a few.

How you’re taught

Teaching and Learning

Nottingham Business School adopts a distinctive approach to the design of student learning opportunities. Your learning is structured around theory, practice, experience & observation, and reflection & improvement. At each level (course, module and session), you will study different theories, concepts and approaches and be given opportunities to apply these in a range of practical settings. The aim is to enhance your understanding through the direct experience of business, where you will have opportunities to observe business practices and behaviours (including your own) and analyse these using theoretical knowledge. It is our intention that by reflecting on these experiences, you will be able to use these theories to guide your actions and decisions in a business context or even consider how a theory itself might be improved. In this way, we aim to enhance the quality of your learning.

Marketing Simulation

As part of your Principles of Marketing module you will take part in a simulation exercise which will see you make marketing decisions for company in the jeans industry, applying your skills within a dynamic competitive market place. In class you will compete in teams and be able to track the impact of your decisions on the company's performance. Through the simulation you'll be able to connect essential marketing concepts to marketing practice and in doing so develop relevant professional marketing skills.

Every postgraduate student will be allocated an Academic Mentor at the beginning of the academic year and you will meet with them regularly throughout the year. Academic Mentors help you make the most of your time at NTU. They will support you in developing and enhancing the qualities and transferrable skills necessary for your studies, career progression, professional and personal development.

Assessments

A range of assessment methods are used across the course, the choice of which reflects the needs and demands of the different types of module. Some modules will assess the ability to work collaboratively in a team and others will assess individual capability.
