Methodology
The Master in Marketing is characterized by offering an interactive learning experience. Classes are complemented by conferences and seminars so that the student acquires all the necessary knowledge to become a marketing professional.
01.
Seminars
The seminars will allow you to delve into aspects of marketing and business through practical cases so that you can get a professional vision on what the latest marketing trends used by multinationals are.
02.
Mentor
The mentor will guide you throughout your Master's Final Project. Coming from different companies, they will help you expand your critical thinking, develop your project, and challenge your own ideas about marketing.
03.
Master's Final Project
The Master's Final Project will respond to a real challenge, with a marketing plan and a project connected to your professional interests. It is the common thread that covers all the subjects. In addition, you can develop, together with your mentor, skills and abilities of a marketing professional such as the ability to solve problems, analyse, and interpret the results or defend your proposals in an efficient way.
Evaluation
- Exams: evaluation of each subject through exams.
- Master's Final Project: completion and public defence of an individual thesis.
- Individual and group work: realization of exercises using real cases.
- Attendance: a high level of attendance is required for course lectures and seminars.
Tools
The On-Campus&Live methodology allows you to follow the program in person and also remotely.
In this modality, two stable subgroups are opened that will coexist throughout the course: one face-to-face and the other with 100% remote students. The remote students (a maximum of 15 places per course) will follow the program in a synchronous way with the face-to-face students. That is, they will share the same school calendar and schedule as the face-to-face students.
Project-oriented learning and the combination of lectures and active methodologies such as case studies, flipped learning, solving real problems, and professional simulations allow the student to connect theory and practice, acquire advanced skills, and achieve learning which is transferable to the job. The face-to-face modality is enriched with elements of online programs (virtual learning environment, multimedia resources, among others) so that the learning experience of the two subgroups is equally satisfactory.
You will have:
- Master's or postgraduate work to learn by doing
- A personal mentor to monitor your Master's Final Project (TFM) or Postgraduate Final Project (TFP)
- Digital resources to achieve transversal skills
- Interdisciplinary activities and workshops
- Digital resources and audiovisual blocks for online learning
- Active methodologies for transferable learning

Student profile
