Marketing Major

Marketing is nowadays not a luxury, but a must in any market and company. Customers are more and more demanding, and less and less loyal. Competition is fierce. New products, services, brands enter the market non-stop. Almost everybody knows how to do marketing. But “almost always makes a difference”. And it is marketing that makes a difference- between the success and failure of a company in the ever-changing market environment. 

We offer our students not only interesting lectures but also opportunities to gain experience through various forms of meetings with professionals.  In our teaching, we focus on linking marketing to current market developments. The practical aspect of the specialization is reflected for example in workshops, or researches and analyses conducted by students. 

The major is balanced to equip students with all it takes to become a marketer- you will gain the necessary knowledge and skills, blending critical and analytical thinking, creativity, innovativeness, and interpersonal skills to collaborate with people and companies. 

Please be advised that the major will launch only if a minimum amount of 17 students sign up for the major.
