Target group

The SSEB is especially designed for students from the fields of Economics and Business. However, Global Marketing may also be of interest for students coming from other fields.
Bachelor’s degree graduates may also apply (professionals, master students...).
A good command of English language (minimum B2 level) is a general requirement for all applicants, but you don't need to send proof of English level.

Course aim

Global Marketing will provide the participating students with a decision-oriented framework for the development and implementation of global marketing programs. Consequently, students will learn to analyze, select, and implement appropriate conceptual frameworks pertaining to five broad management decisions related to global marketing management: Whether or not going International; deciding which market to enter; deciding how to enter a foreign market; designing the global marketing program; and implementing and coordinating the global marketing program. At the end of the course, students will be better equipped to understand how firms can achieve international competitiveness by designing, implementing, and controlling global marketing programs.
