Your student experience
We have designed the MA Marketing at Edinburgh Business School with your future marketing or business career in mind. Our degree features several innovative marketing courses that tackle topics and trends faced by marketing professionals right now as well as prepare you for future challenges.
"Contemporary subjects such as responsible marketing, marketing insights, and data analytics for marketing are taught alongside core marketing essentials such as branding and consumer behaviour, intrinsic to the learning of any professional marketer.
"When I teach responsible marketing I draw on my global research into marketing and sustainability. I will be looking forward to talking with you about the complexities and tensions that businesses and consumers face as they navigate challenges such as climate change, digital landscapes and fast-evolving business models.
"My approach is to help you understand the importance of this topic, whilst equipping you with the practical skills to deliver responsible marketing in practice.
