A Different Education
The curriculum as well as individual course

recent developments in the marketing profession. The
theoretical knowledge and skills are taught in applied settings
using case studies, team work, and project-based methods aimed
at facilitating learning through simulations of ‘real-life’
cases and contexts. The curriculum enables students to acquire
knowledge and skills in a multitude of areas critical for
developing leadership and managerial skills as well as providing

consulting businesses and public sector organisations as well as
carrying out research and producing publications in their own
areas of speciality in various internationally renowned circles
and journals.
