This course is aimed in particular at students of the Master's degree in Business Administration who have chosen "Marketing & International Marketing" as a major or minor and at students of the Master's degree in International Business Administration who have chosen "Marketing & International Marketing" in the in-depth phase.
This course is also open to students from other programs as well as guest students who are aiming for a specialization in marketing and who meet the study requirements.

The course seeks to critically study key concepts and theories associated with marketing communications. Also, it aims to present the variety of ways in which organisations use marketing communications, as well as the reasons behind marketing communications activities. Practical examples and main topics of scientific publications complement the theoretical background.
