Program Description

The master's program in Consumer & Business Marketing gives you the necessary knowledge and skills to critically analyze the forces and practices that shape and change the future of markets, organizations, and communities and to address the social and political context wherein they are embedded. The program provides a solid background for students pursuing a career in marketing, communication, consulting and government. The program also provides a solid background for students pursuing an academic career in research and teaching.

Courses

Students take four courses per term during the first two semesters. Courses on the program include marketing theory, consumer culture theory, expressive communication strategies, and strategic management. In the third semester you may broaden or specialize your interests by choosing between a number of select electives offered by the School or by other departments in the Social Sciences Faculty. Nordic and EU citizens also have the option of an international exchange. During the last semester of the program, you will write a 15,000 words master’s dissertation.
