Marketing

Marketing is a pervasive element in modern society and is increasingly vital to the success of private and public sector organisations. The program in marketing emphasises critical and analytical thinking and the practice of marketing as an applied science. A Marketing major will give you knowledge about consumer behaviour and purchase decision making, integrating theory and practice from many branches of the social sciences. Team building presentation skills, initiative and business planning skills are important elements of the program.
