Master of Science in International Marketing
The MSc in International Marketing provides detailed knowledge of contemporary marketing concepts coupled with the scope for specialisation.
There are eight taught courses, divided equally over two semesters, followed by an international marketing dissertation in semester 3. Part-time students register for two courses per semester and progress to the dissertation at the end of their second year. Assessment is specifically designed to develop professional career readiness and includes several collaborative projects with industry partners.
Mandatory courses deliver core international marketing concepts (International Strategic Marketing, Contemporary Consumer Behaviour, Branding and Communications, Research Philosophy and Practice) as well as specialist marketing knowledge (Marketing Metrics, Sustainable Marketing).
Students can select two course options as business related specialisms - one for each semester. These include digital technology (Strategic Innovation Management, Contemporary Business Technology, Social Media Marketing), business performance (Project Management, Measuring and Managing Performance) and the contextualisation of marketing (Issues and Trends in Tourism, Entrepreneurship Creativity, Legal Context of Marketing). For those who wish an more detailed introduction to marketing practice, there is also an option in Marketing.
In Semester 3 the International Marketing dissertation is the capstone course where students “deep-dive” into their chosen area of research. Students will demonstrate their mastery of the subject area by developing new insight from analysis of valuable primary research.
The International Marketing MSc reflects the fact that Heriot Watt is a truly global university with campuses in Dubai and Malaysia. Our aim is to enable you to become a highly employable citizen of the world.
