Welcome from Professors and Seniors

Dear Incoming Marketing Students,

Congratulations on gaining entry to the NBS Marketing specialization! As your professors and seniors in the programme, we hereby extend to you a warm welcome to this most exciting field of study. You have made the right choice to specialize in Marketing because:

• Marketing is an extremely important function in most corporations and, as a marketer, you will be part of a respected and glamourous profession.
• Marketing offers many rewarding career options including (and not limited to) brand management, key account management, advertising, hospitality marketing, and business development.
