Marketing
What drives organizations to design both goods and services? What makes people buy them? From the initial idea to the final touches, the promotional campaign through to distribution and point of sale, the study of marketing analyzes the very special world of producing and consuming.
A career in marketing offers you a wide range of openings in advertising, special events, sales, communications, promotions and of course… marketing.
Your CO-OP placements with well-known private companies or Crown corporations will put you in touch with numerous professionals in the corporate world and help you build a network of your own. You will have the chance to organize and promote special events, conduct market analyses and do strategic planning.
