Course Description

TThe EduQual Diploma in Business and Marketing Strategy (SCQF Level 11) is a Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) equivalent to a Level 7 qualification, or a 120-credit post-graduate course (for perspective, a UK Masters degree is typically 180 credits).  It is designed to offer learners without prior marketing experience the knowledge and skills they need to be operationally effective in a career in the Marketing field. For learners with prior experience in Marketing and who possess a professional qualification, the pathway through this programme will develop their professional competence.

While this is useful as a standalone postgraduate-level qualification, candidates can also use it to gain credits so that they can just “top-up” to an MBA or similar masters degree by enrolling for a 60-credit project with a university.

 Courses to be covered include

• Global Marketing
• Marketing for SMEs, Charity and the Public Sector
• Marketing Management in Practice
• Strategic Financial Management
• Strategic Management
