Masters degree in Marketing....

.....for Marketing professionals 

"So, why do it? Why put yourself through one or two years of expensive, brain-achingly hard graft, particularly if you are holding down a day job alongside it or are already heavily in student debt?

There are, of course, as many individual reasons for doing a master's qualification, as there are master's students. But the answer for a lot of master's students is employability. Yes, people go into postgraduate education simply because they want to get their grey cells working again or because they are passionate about a subject and wish to pursue it as far as they can. But for the vast majority of students the decision to do an MA or MSc is as much about what they are going to do with the qualification afterwards – and what they hope the qualification is going to do for them – as it is about gaining that bit of precious paper itself."

A recent group started with 18 members pictured here on the steps of Moor Hall

"Thought I should drop you a note now that the MSc is over! .... I really enjoyed the course and on reflection, I can't believe how quickly the last year has gone. Hopefully the three colleagues that I recommended the course to will meet the standard of achieving a distinction too! (Just a shame that your new £20 Amazon voucher offer per new enrolment didn't exist when I recommended the course to the three of them!) ..... When I needed to contact MDC for things, queries were handled promptly and staff were very helpful. ...... I know you used a quote from me in your last newsletter, and if you need to use someone as a case study in future, feel free to get in touch." ....... Marcus Bailey, Lloyds TSB (graduated Jul 03)
