What you can achieve
Career paths after the MBA in Marketing
The usual route runs from head of marketing to marketing director, then VP of marketing or CMO. This MBA's finance, leadership and brand strategy content is aimed at the decisions made at those levels.
A second route is raising marketing's role inside a non-marketing organisation, where the finance and leadership modules matter as much as the marketing ones. A third is specialist leadership in consumer insights, digital and content, or marketing technology. Some graduates also move into brand strategy consulting.
Your results depend on your experience and the roles you target.
