Our Senior Leader Apprenticeship+ Marketing and Leadership MSc programme has been developed in partnership with CIM Academy, the only Accredited Study Centre owned and run by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). The programme has been designed to meet the needs of the modern senior marketer and offers up-to-date academic theory, commercial insights and practical application. All of our students have CIM membership for the duration of the course.
The programme has been designed in two parts. Part 1 enables students to gain an understanding of both general management functions, including strategy, finance, leadership and organisational behaviour and change management. In addition, students cover specialist and advanced subjects related to strategic marketing, including strategic marketing planning, customer management, digital marketing, communications, and consumer behaviour.
On successful completion of Part 1 students are qualified to progress onto Part 2, the Marketing and Leadership MSc, which enables them to cement their learning and complete a significant work-based project within their organisation. By completing both parts, students will achieve both the MSc and the CIM Marketing Leadership Programme (Level 7).
Businesses can use apprenticeship levy funding to cost-effectively develop employee marketing and leadership knowledge and skills enabling them to apply best practice and be more effective within their organisation. Students gain leading-edge insights into marketing and leadership that can be applied directly within their organisation and are able to think more strategically about marketing management and leadership.
