This course offers students the opportunity to explore branding in several areas. It deepens their marketing knowledge and understanding by laying a foundation through modules covering competitive advantage, integrated marketing communications, strategic customer engagement, and contemporary marketing.

Many local business organizations are amongst the biggest in the country and contribute to this course as guest lecturers and attend careers fairs for students.
