What will I learn?

Overview

Gain business and marketing skills you can apply to a variety of industries with the Post-Degree Diploma (PDD) in Marketing. You'll learn to devise marketing strategies, design promotional campaigns, perform market research, and use marketing techniques that incorporate the latest trends in customer relationship management and corporate social responsibility. Best of all, you'll learn to think like a marketer.

The PDD marketing program is ideal if you already work in marketing or want to broaden your skill base, transition into management or market your own business. Courses emphasize practical skills and use a blend of lectures, case studies and group work on real projects in the business community.

During your unpaid part-time internship, you’ll be assigned tasks and projects that junior management, marketing, business, administrative and/or sales employees complete in the modern workplace.

To be accepted into the internship program, you must contact the Career Centre early in your studies at Douglas College.
