Teaching mission

Our master programs are designed to teach the skills and knowledge a marketing expert needs according to the American Marketing Association (the leading international authority in marketing for practitioners and academics). We have a strong focus on top-quality academic research, but the program is designed so students develop the knowledge and skills to translate a concrete marketing problem into an academically relevant research problem and vice versa.

Connection to practice

We provide companies with the opportunity to interact with talented marketing students using case studies, guest lectures, and master theses. For students, applying marketing concepts to real-life problems is vital for the learning experience. For companies, exposure to talented marketing students brings innovative insights to marketing problems.

Examples of past and current collaborations with companies in our teaching activities include

  • Consulting field projects with Mondelez, Unilever, ABInbev, Cloetta (Courses: Marketing Communication and Brand Management)
  • Case and optimization studies with  Dentsu, Greenchoice, Rabobank, and Transavia (Course: Experimental Research)
  • Guest lectures by Brand Loyalty, Aegon, Achmea, KraftHeinz, Ferrero,…
  • Master theses in cooperation with Philips, KPN, Bol, et al.

Students also have the opportunity to participate in the L’Oreal Brandstorm Challenge.

We are always open to discussing the possibilities for organizations that are interested in working with us on our education program, by providing guest lectures, in-class assignments, on-site visiting, or possible internships for our students in marketing.
