The BA Marketing programme is designed to balance fundamentals with innovative ideas and practical skills and to improve leadership and confidence that enable students to succeed in marketing and the wider business world. By fostering a collaborative environment among scholars, students and marketing professionals with diverse backgrounds, our programme prepares students for careers in professional sales, corporate retailing, advertising, brand management, marketing consulting, and international marketing.
The BA Marketing programme is delivered in the International Business School Suzhou (IBSS), one of an elite group of institutions worldwide to be accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).
