1. Gain in-depth knowledge in digital marketing

Our digital marketing programme stands out first and foremost for its in-depth and thorough content. We offer a complete overview of ten different areas of digital marketing, ranging from SEO and Analytics to Social Media and Mobile Marketing – all of which are crucial for the 21st century digital world.

3. Gain practical experience through project-based learning

We apply a project-based learning approach to all of our master’s programmes. Students work on practical projects and build strategies and campaigns based on real companies. The objective is to provide them with hands-on experience with key digital marketing tools. 

For every module on the course, students participate in a group project. They develop this throughout the course, researching, creating and working with classmates effectively and efficiently. 

We encourage students to interpret projects as they wish, putting their own stamp on the work they do. This means that students have the opportunity to use their creativity and imagination, which gives them complete autonomy of thinking. 

Finally, students must deliver a presentation of what they’ve created at the end of the course. Not only does this give them excellent public speaking experience, it will give them a practical goal to work towards. 

4. Enjoy limitless networking opportunities

We believe in building a professional community early on. One way of doing this is through networking. It’s an essential part of building a successful career and opens doors to opportunities that you may not find otherwise. 

In order to help you, we have a range of events, talks and workshops that can kickstart your professional networking journey. We regularly organise and participate in networking events, both in-person and online. This year we have taken students to Startup Grind and Get Together which are two of Barcelona’s most attended networking events. 

Furthermore, we invite guest speakers in the field of digital marketing to come and give talks to our community of students. You will have the opportunity to directly meet and interact with these professionals. The idea is to gain knowledge about their field and expand your professional network by getting to know them. 

Finally, we offer several modules and workshops in which you can learn how to build a LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn is one of the most effective professional networking social networks out there. We can teach you how to make sure you’re using it to its highest potential.

5. Build 21st-century skills 

All our master’s programmes aim to provide students with the skills considered key to success in the 21st century workplace. These include a range of soft skills, such as negotiation, critical thinking, digital literacy, adaptability and problem-solving. 

On top of these, we aim to aid the development of several hard skills as well. We teach these throughout the course modules. Specific to Digital Marketing, these skills include learning how to build and carry out an effective SEO strategy, as well as optimising email campaigns and analysing the results.

Of course, our project-based approach to teaching ensures that students are also gaining direct experience of their chosen subject. They pick up the skills they need for work in digital marketing through the research and creation of their final projects – something which is very attractive to future employers.
