Overview

Developing the role of marketing in an organisation falls to its most senior marketing staff. If you make a significant contribution towards your organisation’s corporate and business strategy, including board decisions, then the Chartered Institute of Marketing's (CIM) Chartered Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing (Stage 1) could be for you.

This course is for marketing professionals who are middle or senior managers aspiring to reach director level and demonstrate a high level of leadership.

Building on your substantial marketing knowledge, you will use strategic analysis and marketing techniques to promote and lead both policies and campaigns in the organisation and externally to target markets and stakeholders.

On completion of the CIM Postgraduate Diploma you may progress onto the MSc Marketing Strategy and Communications.

You’ll build an understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of strategic marketing via a flexible and innovative approach to learning that includes group work, seminars and podcasts.

The four course modules are:

  • Analysis and Decision Making
  • Emerging Themes
  • Marketing Leadership and Planning
  • Managing Corporate Reputation.

Your future

As a Chartered Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing (Stage 1) postgraduate, you can look forward to excellent career prospects at senior management, and possibly board level, in UK and international marketing, marketing communications and media organisations.
