Emphasis on sustainability ensures that you will pursue both economic success and positive contributions to society and the environment.
Global Digital Marketing and Sales
This module explores marketing and sales essentials in a global context. Marketing is crucial for any organization’s success, essential for attracting and retaining customers, and driving sustainable growth worldwide. By focusing on customer needs and the value of products, marketing works to create demand, while sales activities encourage purchases. Integrating these functions is vital for improving business performance in domestic markets and identifying international opportunities. You’ll explore how both areas contribute to a company’s expansion and overall market success.

Sports for Development
Explore the increasingly important topics of sports development and sports policy.
