This intensive and fast-paced specialist Masters programme develops a high level of competence in marketing strategy across the programme. Modules are delivered over two semesters (September-January & February-May) with the Business Research Project/Placement conducted between May and August. The programme will generally be delivered through lectures, presentations, and intensive workshops, generally in blocks of two full days every two weeks, followed by less structured supervision contact over the third (summer) semester for those taking the Project option. Modules have been chosen to reflect the current business and marketing environment. A key innovation is the concept of Marketing Live, which gives you the opportunity to put your marketing knowledge into practice with a live client on a real marketing problem.

Candidates should have a minimum 2.2 grade honours (level 8) degree in a business discipline. In exceptional circumstances consideration will be given to candidates who do not hold a primary degree, but who do have at least 10 years relevant work experience at least 3 of which must be in a management position. This is done through the Maynooth University Procedure for Non Standard Entrants and Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning. International applicants must have a recognised primary degree in Business which is considered equivalent to Irish university primary degree level at 2.2.

This programmes provides graduates with significant insights into the modern consumer and insights into how businesses, including government, operate from a marketing perspective. A strategic perspective on the different challenges facing organisations, including big data, social media, globalisation and changing consumers will enable you to take your career to the next level. There are significant opportunities to enhance your employability: a live case study with a company, a focus on international selling (a key national objective evidenced by recent Enterprise Ireland reports), and a concentration on analytical skills. These specific experiences are enhanced by a core module that emphasises your personal career journey. The Work Placement (full-time mode only) or Business Research Project capstone elements are particularly valuable to employers as they demonstrate your ability to apply your learning in the world of work.
